There is an adventure trail by the pond. This leads through the middle of the biotope at any time of year. This rich habitat can be experienced intensively with all of the senses.

Nice little chapel with a great view of Lake Sempach. Great starting point for walks and hikes. Nice place with seating to chill, read and enjoy the sun. There are some free parking spaces right next to the church.

The bike path to the Sempachersee is very nice, sometimes a bit narrow, so drive at a slower pace.
