Circular route around Lake Sarnen

From Sarnen station the path follows along the railway tracks to the hospital and further on to Seefeld. In summer, a visit to the Erlebnisbad is worthwhile. From here the lake path starts and leads via 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 torrents. The Steinibach is crossed on the road by a ford, where the path on the other side follows the stream up to Mattacher.

It continues upwards to cross the Gerisbach and then descends 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 Wilerbad and over Giglen to Kirchhofen. With a view of the baroque parish church, it goes down to the lake, along the shore of the Sarneraa to the village square, and back to the station.
