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.

Anyone interested in the history of the Swiss Confederation cannot help but pay a visit to the Winkelried Memorial (the place where he is said to have died heroically). The nearby and unfortunately busy "Battle Street" makes it difficult to imagine that the Swiss and Habsburgs once stood hostilely against each other here.

The idyllic pond is often covered with water lilies and is a popular local recreation area for good reason. There is a barbecue area with seating, a toilet and shelter nearby.

Battlefield, battle inn, battle memorial The battlefield is still the property of the state of Lucerne. On it is the battle chapel, the Winkelriedstein (1864) and an inn (1963). The Winkelriedstein is said to mark the place where Winkelried's voluntary heroic death supposedly made the victory of the Swiss Confederation possible. The inn is the successor building to the home of the so-called battle brother, who was responsible for looking after the battlefield, acting as sexton and entertaining guests. The Sempach battlefield is on the road that leads from Sempach to Hildisrieden. It is the place where a battle took place on July 9, 1386 between troops from Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden and a force of knights led by Duke Leopold during the long conflict between the young Swiss Confederation and the House of Habsburg. The battle ended in defeat for Habsburg and his army of knights, and the city of Lucerne used the victory to increase its territorial expansion efforts.

Winkelried Memorial, Sempach (July 9, 1386) Arnold Winkelried, or Arnold von Winkelried, is the hero of the Battle of Sempach (July 9, 1386) in traditional Swiss national history. Through his voluntary sacrificial death, he is said to have made the victory of the Eight Old Places against the superior power of Habsburg Austria possible. In the 19th century, Winkelried became one of the central figures of national romanticism alongside William Tell, and in the culture of remembrance around Sempach, a "real hero worship" began, which in the 20th century was often classified as a "national myth".
