Very nice hike at Beinwil am See. Can be done anytime. This hike starts directly at the public car park (subject to a fee) at the Beinwil am See train station (it costs CHF 5.00 for the whole day. Can be paid at the machine at the kiosk at the train station, or via the SBB P+Rail app.

In the warm months you can swim along the Hallwilersee, please note that it is not possible to swim in every place. However, I saw on the way at Badi Alliswil in Boniswil you can swim for free. Is really a very nice little Badi.

On this beautiful hike there are various benches as well as nice barbecue areas and various restaurants to take a break. In addition, you always have a beautiful view of the Hallwilersee and also the Baldegersee and in the distance the wonderful Alps, just a dream. Can also be done on foot with children (from 10 years) physical condition must be present.

What I also found very nice is the Hombergturm from up there you have a fantastic view. Simply highly recommended. This tower was built in 1910 is a concrete framework construction with a height of 16.90 meters. In 1991 the tower was renovated. 91 steps in 3 different designs lead to the viewing platform.

There are also public toilets at the train station.

I found the following highlights of the hike:

- Along the Hallwilersee is simply pure nature to relax

- In the warm months you can also go swimming.

- Hombergturm from up here the view is a real dream.

FYI: easy hike

Difficulty level: T1 (hiking)
