Lake Sempach lies in the heart of Switzerland and is surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Intact nature, cultural and historical sights, a high-quality range of culinary delights and various sports opportunities make the Lake Sempach region an ideal leisure, excursion and relaxation area for families, seniors and groups.

Old town Sursee (winner of the Wakker Prize 2003) – The golden small town in the heart of Switzerland combines history, culture and modernity and is at the same time the metropolitan center of the region.

The lake is a highlight – very idyllic on the west side with many bathing opportunities.

Lake Sempach is a lake near Sursee in the Swiss canton of Lucerne. It has an area of 14.5 km² and its water level is 504 m above sea level. M., it holds 0.66 km³ and is 87 m deep at its deepest point. Its length is 7.5 km, the circumference is 19.8 km and the average discharge is 1.28 m³/s.

In contrast to most Swiss lakes, large parts of the lake shore are not open to the public, but are cordoned off by fenced off private property. The ban on swimming on the entire Sempach waterfront dates back to the 1960s.

Seven communities border Lake Sempach: Sursee, Sempach, Oberkirch, Nottwil, Eich, Schenkon and Neuenkirch. A total of around 30,000 people live there.

Story

The Reuss Glacier, which retreated towards the end of the Würme Ice Age, left behind several moraines around 12,000 years ago, including that of Mariazell, which damms Lake Sempach at its northern end.
