The Breccaschlund is a legendary karst plain above the Schwarzsee in the Swiss canton of Friborg .
The area was created by glaciers during the last ice age. Despite alpine dairies and its popularity with hikers, the primeval landscape is still home to a multitude of alpine flowers and animals.
Around the Breccaschlund are the mountain peaks of: Spitzflue ( 1954 m above sea level ), Fochsenflue ( 1975 m above sea level ), Chörblispitz ( 2103 m above sea level ), Combigabel ( 1928 m above sea level ), Combiflue ( 2055 m above sea level ), Schopfenspitz ( 2104 m above sea level ), Pointe de Balachaux ( 1976 m above sea level ), Patraflon ( 1916 m above sea level ) and Pointe de Bremingard ( 1923 m above sea level) M. ).
The Breccaschlund can be reached by car or public transport, then a good hour's walk from Schwarzsee (or by cable car Schwarzsee-Riggisalp).
