Lake BaldeggLake Baldegg is one of our favorite lakes in Switzerland, with so many mountain peaks towering over the water and so much variety as you twist and turn around each corner. After all these years, it still makes me gasp with delight when we drive by or ride up a gondola to admire it from above.
Lake HallwilLake Hallwil is a lake largely in the Canton of Aargau, Switzerland. It is the largest lake in Aargau and lies mostly in the districts of Lenzburg and Kulm on the southern edge of the canton. The southern tip of the lake reaches into the canton of Lucerne. The main river leading to this lake is the Aabach, which is coming from the Lake Baldegg.
Lake SempachThe short climb in Sempach heading towards Kirchbühl is worth the effort - at the top, you are on the Roman Way and enjoying magnificent views. On the other side of the lake, the trail runs along the edge of the lake.
