Croatia is not only one of the most popular holiday destinations for the average Swiss, but also an important trading partner in Southeastern Europe. The very good relations between our countries are based on Switzerland's commitment to humanitarian aid and reconstruction during and after the war in Croatia. Today, Switzerland is the second home to numerous Croatian expatriates. The trading partnership between the two countries has existed for 30 years. Lake Cauma The idyllic Swiss Lake Cauma (Rhaeto-Romance: Lag la Cauma) is located in Flims, a town in the Graubünden region. This alpine glacial lake is fed from underground springs and is located at 997 m above sea level. The level of the lake varies by approximately 4 to 5 meters, depending on the variable flow of the groundwaters throughout the year. In the summer, the average water temperature is 21 degrees Celsius, and the maximum around 24 degrees Celsius, which makes it pleasant for swimming in the summer months. The lake is surrounded by dense coniferous forest and can only be reached by hiking and a funicular built in 1939 and renovated in 1988. The fairy-tale lake, with its turquoise waters and a picturesque islet in its center, provides visitors with unforgettable moments. Known as "Lag la Cauma", which means "lake of afternoon rest (siesta)" in Rhaeto - Romance, Lake Cauma offers peace, relaxation, walking and opportunities for an active vacation - it is perfect for swimming and sunbathing in the summer or for enjoying rowing, volleyball, cycling and other recreational activities. The special beauty of Lake Cauma should be preserved for many future generations, who will also want to flee from overcrowded cities to soak up the scenes of a fairy-tale mountain landscape, breathe the clean air, dive into the clear lake water and invigorate the soul and rest the body.
