Old mill with large water wheel

Highlight • Monument

Next to Halwill Castle is this water mill with a large water wheel. Plan more time to see everything in detail. I missed it and had to move on.

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!

Cycle and footpath 🚵‍♂️🥾

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Away from the dangerous main road, traffic-free from Aesch to Meisterschwanden. Good natural road. On Sundays and public holidays there are a lot of people here taking a walk to aid digestion. I recommend the path above the main road, through the forest. In the forest there are various options for getting from Aesch to Meisterschwanden.

Highest point of the Lindenberg (878 m)

Highlight • Summit

The Lindenberg, a paradise for easy bike and bicycle tours. The Lindenberg does not take its name from a tree. No, "lind" means "soft" (soft-boiled) in the Freiamt dialect. The mountain has many springs. After rainy days it is wet for a long time in many places. In various places the earth is always slightly in motion and slides down the valley, e.g. Gitztobel, Chüeweidtobel and Wissenbach-"Tobel". In the Gitzitobel, a wide road that I used to drive 25 years ago has completely slipped down.
