Intro

Nestled in the pre-Alpine landscape of Central Switzerland, Lake Sarnen is the perfect place for a leisurely hike. Sachseln and Giswil lie on the edge of the route. The hike starts and ends in the historic town of Sarnen.

Description

For the first part of the hike, the trail follows the shores of Lake Sarnen as far as Giswil. From here it passes through the district of Grossteil and over the Steinibach River to the other side of the lake.
