The boat « d’Grandfey », a proud vessel with 12 seats powered by electro-solar energy, operates tourist trips between Schiffenen and the city of Fribourg (Neigles).
The city of Fribourg also has a lake, let's face it!
You can admire the breathtaking scenery ot the artificial lake of Schiffenen, created in 1964 by the construction of the dam of the same name.
In addition to the wonders that nature will show you, you will also learn more about the heritage along the shore (dam, castles, hermitages, bridges), while you take a unique and relaxing walk to the rhythm of the water.
