Lobsigensee, Kettle lake and archaeological site in Seedorf, Switzerland
This small lake stretches 180 meters in length and 130 meters in width at an elevation of 514 meters above sea level.
Archaeological excavations initiated in 1908 at Lobsigensee revealed multiple prehistoric dwellings dating back to the fourth millennium BC.
The lake shores contain remnants of Neolithic stilt houses, forming part of the prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps UNESCO World Heritage collection.
Researchers access the site through Unterdorfstrasse in Seedorf, where they conduct regular archaeological studies and preservation work.
Test borings performed in 2005 uncovered evidence of ancient structures and a burnt layer indicating a settlement destroyed by fire.
