Lake Seewlisee is a true natural highlight in the canton of Uri. With an area of 9 hectares and a depth of 20 meters, it is not only the largest but also the deepest natural mountain lake in the region. It played a special role in Uri’s fishing history from the very beginning—it was the first lake in the canton to be actively fished. Today, stories tell of impressive catches: Canadian lake trout (Namaycush) weighing over 10 pounds are said to have been caught here.
