Lake and Mountain Hike (Boniswil – Homberg – Beinwil am See)

From the Seetal up to the Hombergturm, this winter hike combines quiet stretches of forest and open meadows with sweeping views across the Hallwilersee to the Alpine chain.

From Boniswil railway station, the winter hike initially leads through the village to the Steinzeitwerkstatt, which focuses on Neolithic toolmaking and fire-lighting techniques. The route then climbs to Leutwil, passing the Reformed village church and directly by the Gasthof Linde. Beyond the houses, open meadows alternate with forest; gravel tracks and narrow natural paths lead via Häfni and Berg towards Homberg.

After passing the Gasthof Homberg, the trail gains more height. At around 780 m, the Hochwacht is the highest point of the hike. A little further on, the Hombergturm stands directly beside the route. From here, the panorama extends across the Seetal and the Hallwilersee to the Alpine chain; several fire pits are located near the tower.

A longer descent then leads through forest and across open terrain to Beinwil am See. On reaching the first houses, the route passes the Reformed village church and ends after around eight kilometres at Beinwil am See railway station.
