Seen from the trail in the Furtschellas Water Hike

The “Lej da Segl” is located next to the watershed of the Maloja pass, the crossing to the Bregaglia Valley. It is the largest lake in the canton of Graubünden and forms part of the Upper Engadine lake district. During the summer months, a small boat operates a scheduled service. The “Segl-Maria” ploughs across the lake from Sils Maria to Maloja on the south-western lakeshore and back again in 40 minutes, four times a day. During this scenic cruise, it stops at the Chastč peninsula, Plaun da Lej and Isola.The famous German philosopher Nietzsche spent considerable time by Lake Sils. As you pass by the Chastč peninsula, you may catch a glimpse of the bench beneath the larches where Friedrich Nietzsche would often sit and daydream during his summers in Sils.
