@rox_ana0: Totensee: Switzerland’s Lake of the Dead 🇨🇭 At first glance, Totensee looks peaceful. But this lake at Grimsel Pass has a dark history. According to local legend, in 1211, after the Battle of Ulrichen, fleeing soldiers of Duke Berchtold V of Zähringen were driven into the lake by Valais troops, giving it the name Totensee, “Lake of the Dead.” Centuries later, in 1799, French troops fought Austrian forces belonging to Suvorov’s coalition army at the Grimsel Pass. Today, only the silence remains. 🇨🇭 #switzerland🇨🇭 #foryou #hiddengems #swisshistory #traveltok
