About
Wägitalersee is a reservoir lake in the municipality of Innerthal in the canton of Schwyz, Switzerland. It is situated in the Wägital (English: Wägi Valley). Its outflow is the Wägitaler Aa, which drains into Upper Lake Zurich at Lachen. It is surrounded by the mountains Gross Aubrig, Fluebrig, Zindlenspitz, Brünnelistock and Bockmattli.
The old village of Innerthal was flooded in 1924 when the dam Schräh was constructed. A new village was built on the current lake.
