Very beautiful riverside path. Thanks to the ban on bicycles, there are no cyclists either.

In September 2026, we tackled another section of it. We started from Birrwil down by the lake, walked to Delphin and back to Birrwil by ship. It was wonderful and the crossing by ship only cost CHF 2.50 per person with Halbtax. But then we had to retrieve our car, we had no choice and had to pay the ransom!!! My darling left a fitting comment. Dreamfully beautiful area, beautiful hiking trails; a sinfully expensive parking garage at the harbor in Birrwil (5 hours CHF 35.00)

The ideal starting and ending point for circumnavigating the lake. Large parking lot available, including a swimming pool if you feel like it.

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.
