    What a find! A delightful schloss to visit on a balmy May day. We walked to it along the banks of the Hallwiler Lake, which was a very pleasant thing to do in stonking sunshine. Very good value...

    A castle with a fully active moat, quite remarkable. The castle is well preserved and beautiful. Truly takes you back to medieval times. Lots of hiking trails around and in a nice setting. Free parking across the street.
