The Obersee Adventure Trail is currently the largest and connecting tourism project on the upper Lake Zurich and connects the cantons of Schwyz, St. Gallen and eight communities around and across the lake. The majority of the path leads along the Obersee on the existing hiking and cycling routes, through forests and nature reserves. Along the way you will meet various characters or members of the Obersee secret society. They all tell you exciting, mysterious, surprising, sad and also funny stories. You can find out more about them at the associated experience points. All members of the secret society guard a treasure, which is in danger of sinking into the depths of Lake Superior. They send you on a secret mission with the explorer backpack. If you manage to solve their tasks, you will be accepted into the Obersee secret society and thus become the guardian of the Obersee treasure. You can find more information and where you can get the discovery backpack at www.erlebnisweg-obersee.ch.
