Yesterday, through a highly magnified pair of binoculars on one of these islands, I was able to observe five cormorants in close harmony: Magnificent! The birdlife here is truly diverse - a magnifying glass is actually a must. But the photos stored here by Komoot users are also great in this highlight - especially the photo of the kingfisher, which I unfortunately haven't had the chance to see yet...

Beautiful bird viewing point. There are really nice photos early in the morning, as well as in the evening. But you can also see the birds really well during the day.

I've hiked around the lake several times - I'll go along the eastern shore first. The idea is simple: If my injured knee doesn't keep up after half the distance, I'll just take the train for the rest of the way, and that's only available on the west bank. (So far it has never been necessary, but who knows :-) )

The hiking trails around Lake Hallwil are simply beautiful in every season! On the left bank of the lake there are good opportunities (every 30 minutes) to take the Seetalbahn to Lucerne or Lenzburg.
