We had a chance to visit Oeschinensee on Swiss National Day – August 1st 2020. It is a lake in Bernese Oberland, 4km east of Kandersteg in the Oeschinen valley. The lake is fed through a series of mountain creeks and drains underground. We had a chance to do row boating in this beautiful lake and it was steaming hot around 37 C – the hottest day of the year. A gondola lift from Kandersteg leads to Oeschinen and 25 minutes’ walk leads you to the lake. The lake is also part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn UNESCO World heritage site. The lake is generally frozen during five months from December to May. From time to time ice skating is possible on the ice.
