EN: Lake Gibidum lies about three kilometers east of Visperterminen in a depression at 2193 meters above sea level.
The lake is about 300 by 300 meters and only about two meters deep. That is why it gets pleasantly warm in summer despite its elevation and is popular as a swimming lake. Fishermen also like to visit the lake; the corresponding fishing licenses can be obtained in Visperterminen.
Lake Gibidum should not be confused with the Gibidum reservoir. This is about 15 kilometers away in a gorge at the foot of the Aletsch Glacier.
DE: Der Gibidumsee liegt etwa drei Kilometer östlich von Visperterminen in einer Senke auf 2193 Meter über Meer.
Der See ist etwa 300 auf 300 Meter gross und nur etwa zwei Meter tief. Deshalb wird er im Sommer trotz seiner Höhe angenehm warm und ist als Badesee beliegt. Auch Fischer besuchen den See gerne; die entsprechenden Fischereilizenzen lassen sich in Visperterminen beziehen.
Der Gibidumsee darf nicht mit dem Gibidum-Stausee verwechselt werden. Dieser liegt rund 15 Kilometer entfernt in einer Schlucht am Fuss des Aletschgletschers.
