Reconstructed pile dwelling at Moorreservat Riesi

Highlight • Historical Site

The pile dwellings were "rediscovered" 150 years ago: in winter 1853/1854 the water level of the Swiss lakes was exceptionally low. In many places people tried to take advantage of the hour and to expand port facilities or to gain land from the lake. During such work, 30 km under the lake floor, miles away from Lake Zurich, you encountered rotten piles, bones, ceramics and objects made of stone, wood and bronze.

Seengen Men's Bath on Lake Hallwil

Highlight • Beach

Cool place to stop for a swim. No toilet, changing or shower facilities. Great views from the upper deck over the lake and Alps. Can see Titlis and surrounding peaks. Possible to see the top of the Berner Oberland in very good weather. Gets busy at peak times but quiet during the week.

View of Lake Hallwil

Highlight • Viewpoint

A circumnavigation of Lake Hallwil is worthwhile. About 22 kilometers. But it can also be abbreviated to the Hallwilerseefahrt. Beautiful route for young and old.

Hallwyl Castle

Highlight • Castle

In Hallwyl Castle, one of the most beautiful and romantic moated castles in Switzerland, history can be experienced at the original location.

Culture and nature experience in the moated castle.

From the romantic moated castle it is only a jump into the unique nature reserve at the Hallwilersee. Back in the castle rooms, the exhibition tells the story of the life of a noble Aargau family and their subjects in the Seetal. The versatile program of events and activities is all about culture and nature!

Castle Mill

Highlight • Monument

Just across the street from Hallwyl Castle, the historic mill is clearly visible. It is open to the public and shows, in a historically beautiful way, how flour was once made from grain here. The stream that rushes past here via the lake, then over the castle, flows openly through the Mühlhaus. Since visitors usually only pay full attention to the castle, the pretty mill next door is somewhat lost. For that reason and because it is part of the history of Hallwyl Castle, I have included this place as a highlight. PS: Right next to the mill there is another building with a large glass front, in which an old barge from the 16th century is also on display, which is also open to the public. It was discovered in the castle moat during restoration work.
