Breccaschlund
Landscape/natural monument of national importance in Switzerland
The Breccaschlund is a karstic plain with primeval forest, located above the lake Schwarzsee, in the Swiss Canton of Fribourg.
The area was created by glaciers in the last ice age.
Despite the usage as alpine pastures and despite the popularity among hikers, the area continues to be home to a variety of alpine flowers and alpine animals.
The Breccaschlund can be reached by car and public transport, and subsequently by the cable car Schwarzsee-Riggisalp.

Why this record matters
“Breccaschlund” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Breccaschlund, Landscape and natural provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q23784137. Authority coordinates are 46.649, 7.280. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
