This is great English. I don't see anything wrong with it from a syntactic point of view, so I'd say it's perfect English. But it doesn't feel like it's conveying the right concept, logically.

When you say "<X is true>, but <Y is true>" that usually implies that fact Y in some way contradicts or goes against fact X. For example, "I want to be a basketball star, but I'm not very tall". The implication is that not being very tall is somehow inconsistent with becoming a basketball star. Which is true. So that's a proper use of "but".

Your "I am a beginner, but I am interested in hiking" implies that being interested in hiking is inconsistent with being a beginner hiker. But the reverse is true, if anything. People, as a rule, are MORE interested in an activity or hobby earlier on than later on.

Since you got your English perfectly correct, I would encourage you to try another few sentences that say how you feel about hiking, how good you are at it, how easy/difficult you find it, how long you've been doing it, and what kinds of hikes or scenery you like. But really think about the meaning as well as the syntax.
