Nussbaumersee, Lake and archaeological site in Hüttwilen, Switzerland
The Nussbaumersee lake extends over 25.2 hectares between Nussbaumen and Uerschhausen, reaching a maximum depth of 7.9 meters at 434 meters elevation.
The lake contains remnants of prehistoric pile dwellings that demonstrate early human settlements, with structures built directly above the water on wooden stilts.
The preservation of ancient building techniques at Nussbaumersee provides direct evidence of how communities lived near Alpine lakes from 5000 to 500 BC.
Visitors can access the lake area through marked paths that connect to Hüttwilersee, with dedicated spaces for nature observation and walking activities.
The lake features one small island and receives its water primarily from Furtbach stream, maintaining a volume of 1,067,000 cubic meters.
