The Seetal is a picture-book landscape, luring with castles and palaces, romantic villages and a medieval small town, gentle countryside and shady forests, two great bathing lakes and romantic streams and ponds - very close.
From Eschenbach to Lenzburg
From the idyllic hills an impressive panorama opens up into the Central Swiss Alps with Rigi, Pilatus and Titlis. The Seetal valley offers cultural, sporting and fun activities that can be experienced. Well developed hiking and cycle paths lead through the valley and connect the Lakes Baldegg and Hallwil and the castles. In the villages on the lake shore there are numerous bathing places and restaurants with fish specialities. On Lake Hallwil, scheduled boats run from one shore to the other. Many well-preserved witnesses from the Middle Ages line the Seetal regoin and can be visited: Lenzburg Castle, Hallwyl Water Castle, the defiant Wildegg, Heidegg Castle and the ruins of Nünegg.
More than lakes and castles
«The lake smiles, it invites you to take a bath...», Schiller wrote in 1803. We don't know whether he looked at the Lake Hallwil and Lake Baldegg when he wrote the poems. But what we do know is that our region not only invites you to swim, but also to discover and enjoy.
