Mountain Lakes
(Central Switzerland)
The idyllic hilly countryside around the lake, the medieval castle of Hallwyl with its heritage exhibitions, and the romantic boat trips round the lake make Lake Hallwil and the nearby Seetal valley a small but popular tourist area on the border between the cantons of Lucerne and Aargau. There is a popular walk round the shores of Lake Hallwil, with lots of opportunities for swimming or having a rest.
(Central Switzerland)
Encircled by popular excursion mountains, Lake Lucerne is the lake with the greatest scenic variety in the country. It is somewhat reminiscent of a fjord landscape, yet remains characterised by a mild lake climate. Boat cruises on board five historic paddlewheel steamers and 15 elegant salon motor vessels count among the highlights of this region.
