アプトヴィルの湖・トップ20

It is a beautiful, but often strenuous, area. The route from the highlight "Baldeggersee" up to Römerswil is also recommended. A route for the more athletic or those like me, who support suboptimal athleticism with electric energy :-)

Depending on the weather and visibility, you can see more or less.

Heidegg Castle and its surroundings are highly recommended. Heidegg Castle is a museum and is open from April to the end of October, Tuesday to Friday from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. On weekends, it is open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission for adults is CHF 13. I haven't been to the museum myself, but since admission is free with the Raiffeisen card, I'll definitely visit sometime. The castle has a rose garden. It is open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. starting in May. Admission is CHF 2 for adults and CHF 0.50 for children (cash or Twint). The entrance fee goes towards the maintenance of the garden. It's a truly beautiful place with seating and a view of Lake Baldegg. I saw lizards, bumblebees, and butterflies there, and of course, admired the various flowers. There is an outdoor playground in the chestnut avenue near the castle. This serves as a popular meeting place year-round. The snack bar is open on Sundays and public holidays from April to the beginning of October, weather permitting, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For information about whether the snack bar is actually open and all other information, please visit the website www.heidegg.ch.

A beautiful route along Lake Baldegg. It's especially beautiful early in the morning at sunrise.

An outpost of Catholicism in a Reformed area.

A brochure from the parish of St. Martin in Root provides information on the history of the power place Michael's Cross: "Around 1,500 years ago, the pious Medardus decided to build a wooden hut in the Meggerwald forest to live there. While he was busy felling trees, a boy came to him and asked Medardus to take two tree trunks on his shoulders and follow him. After a four-hour hike, the two arrived at a hill near Root. There, the boy asked the hermit to build a cross from the two trunks. With the words: 'I am the Archangel Michael, sent by my Lord Jesus Christ to mark and consecrate this place with the sign of the holy cross,' the boy took on the form of the Archangel Michael. Since then, the hill on which the chapel stands today has been called Michael's Cross.

Wonderful view of Lake Hallwil, the surrounding villages and the Alps.

beautiful route with great panorama, but along a little-used road
