Accessible holidays in Sursee

This short and easy hike near Sursee invites us to enjoy the idyll of nature and to watch birds.

A beautiful, mostly flat hike around Lake Hallwil. You can start from various locations.

From the starting point at Sursee railroad station, the route soon leads through open countryside past tranquil meadows and fields and along Lake Sempach to Nottwil. We are in the heart of the canton of Lucerne.

Along Lake Hallwil and discovering its castle.

Very beautiful hike around Lake Hallwil, which can be undertaken at any time. This hike starts directly at the public parking lot (paid) near the Strandbad Seerose. In the warm months, the Strandbad Seerose is ideal for swimming. Besides the Strandbad, there are also other spots at Lake Hallwil where you can swim, but it should be noted that swimming is not allowed everywhere. During this lovely hike around Lake Hallwil, there are numerous benches and nice barbecue areas where you can prepare a meal. Additionally, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the Alps and observe nature. The route is also doable on foot for children aged 12 and up and is suitable for strollers. It is not necessary to complete the entire loop with children, as that might be too much to ask :-). Highlights of the hike I experienced were the following: - Great circuit around Lake Hallwil - Beautiful views of the lake and the Alps. - You can also go swimming in the warm months.

Thanks to its central location, the city has excellent train connections in all directions. Via Bern, it goes towards Spiez – and further into the Kander and Simmental valleys.

The route goes over quite a lot of paved roads and there are constant ups and downs. A route that is therefore doable +/- all year round. The gentle hilly landscape offers beautiful but not necessarily spectacular views. Due to the abundance of roads and paths, you either need to be very familiar with the area or have a suitable track – in our case, this only worked halfway, and we got lost a few times and possibly missed the best trails ;-( The return route over the Santenberg nicely rounded off the route and still gave us some meters of nature under the tires. In the end, a nice day.

Scenic lake route with views of Rigi, Pilatus, Urner Alps (in clear weather) without significant altitude differences. Various places to stop for refreshments; can be shortened at any time by boat.
