The circular footpath around Lake Rot is popular with walkers as well as joggers for its proximity to the city, the beauty of the nature reserve, the practical length of the path and the presence of playgrounds and a lido – amongst other reasons. The path presents no problems and is virtually flat all the way round.
The popular walk around Lake Rot is technically undemanding and virtually flat. Much of the path is asphalted, with a few gravelly sections. The only part where tree roots can be encountered is between the Lake Rot ferry terminus (south side) heading towards the lido. If that's a problem, take the asphalted Kaspar-Kopp-Strasse to the lido. Vehicles and bicycles are not permitted on the Lake Rot path. An occasional bench or barbecue spot is encountered on the way. The south side near the Lucerne-Rotsee rowing centre features a great playground, as well as a meadow that's good for picnicking. In summer you can enjoy the cool waters of the lido or a refreshment in the form of beverages and snacks there. Walkers are also welcome to eat at the lido restaurant, as well as at the Seehüsli restaurant at the western end of Lake Rot (open all year round).
