Day 4 – Säckingen

The heat wave isn’t letting up—today was another scorcher! So we did what any sensible traveler would do: escaped to the shade of the forest and found our way to Bergsee, a hidden lake just outside Bad-Säckingen.

We grabbed cool drinks at a laid-back little lake restaurant run by a friendly family from Kosovo. With an occasional light breeze off the water, it was the perfect spot to hang out.

We then walked the peaceful trail that loops around the lake before heading back into town. With just an hour to spare before closing, we landed at a cozy restaurant in the old town and treated my sister to a lovely dinner.

Tonight is our last in Bad Säckingen. Tomorrow around noon, we’re off to Switzerland for a 5-day hiking adventure with friends. Time to trade lakes for mountains!Read more
