Almost a must if you are on the west side of Lake Hallwil. Here you have less traffic and enjoy the better view of the Alps.

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.

June 12, 2025,Rund um den Hallwiler See

The bike path is a bit "difficult," running along the main road several times or with steep inclines if you're tired of the main road (good if you have an e-bike or strong calves). Since cycling is prohibited right next to the lake, cyclists are somewhat denied a view of the lake. At least I did spot a stork's nest …

Unfortunately, there is no continuous bike path around the lake, but it is still very nice.

Tour "around" Lake Hallwylersee is NOT recommended! Mostly along the very busy main road & if bike path with gravel & potholes. We had the mountain bikes with us 😉.

Only conditionally suitable for children!!! Cycle path mostly on the main road as it is forbidden to drive on the lakeside path.

"Caution, it will be checked and fined"
