This weekend I wanted to camp and Heather wanted a relaxing weekend. The compromise? An unknown lake with the idea of walking, fishing, and fasting. Okay the fasting wasn't really part of the plan, but we seem to skip lunch occasionally when we eat a late breakfast.
I noticed on the map of Switzerland that there is a nice large lake called Lac de Joux in the Jura mountains about an hour from Soral. This looked like a nice place to satisfy our ambitions of the day so we jumped in the car for a quick drive. After some curvy roads we reached Switzerland's "Watch Valley," and headed Northeast towards the lakes. Originally, we planned on trying to walk along the larger Lac de Joux, but then we came across the stepchild called Lac Brenet.
As you can see in the photos below the lake is actually quite large! To make the loop is about a 1 hour endeavor. We stopped every 10 minuets to try and catch something, which actually proved worthwhile! We caught one small perch and a small pike. We really enjoyed the spot and would like to go back in the winter to try and snowshoe around the area.
Great view of the lake and Scott fishing
Catch #1 - Perch
Heather giving it a shot - you can see how clear the water was in some parts of the lake
