A small oasis on the beautiful Sempachersee. The newly designed bathing area with such a great restaurant and the new (from 2025) hosts Marco Helfenstein and Nadja Getzmann. They are so friendly and simply great hosts. Coffee, food, drinks can be found in many places, but with friendliness, there is that certain something extra! You can't drive past this!
