Circular hike around Lake Sarnen

From Sarnen station, the path leads along the railway tracks to the hospital and further to Seefeld. In summer, a visit to the adventure pool is worthwhile. From here, the lakeside path begins and leads over Sachseln and Ewil to the former customs house in Sachseln. After a short section on the road parallel to Schwerzenbachstrasse, the route follows the dam path to Camping Giswil. Through the forest, the path leads to the feared wild streams. The Steinibach is crossed on the road by a ford, where the path on the other side follows the stream upwards to Mattacher.

It continues uphill to cross the Gerisbach, followed by a descent to Holzmatt. Here it is worth looking back over Giswil and the impressive Wetterhorn group. Now the forest path leads with slight ups and downs above the Wilerbad and over Giglen to Kirchhofen. With a view of the baroque parish church, it goes down to the lake, along the Sarner Aa shore to the village square, and back to the station.
