Just across the street from Hallwyl Castle, the historic mill is clearly visible. It is open to the public and shows, in a historically beautiful way, how flour was once made from grain here. The stream that rushes past here via the lake, then over the castle, flows openly through the Mühlhaus. Since visitors usually only pay full attention to the castle, the pretty mill next door is somewhat lost. For that reason and because it is part of the history of Hallwyl Castle, I have included this place as a highlight. PS: Right next to the mill there is another building with a large glass front, in which an old barge from the 16th century is also on display, which is also open to the public. It was discovered in the castle moat during restoration work.

The men's pool in Seengen is a historic seaside resort with simple facilities on Lake Hallwil. Today, both men and women are allowed in the bathroom. The Seengener Herrenbadi is a wooden pool in Seengermoos, which is located on the north shore of Lake Hallwil. Access is free and gender segregation has been removed. The pool building has a terrace where you can sunbathe and from where you can access the lake via a staircase. A raft floats in front of the pool and there are changing facilities. Bathing in the men’s pool is at your own risk. There are no catering facilities, showers or toilets in this simple seaside resort. The latter two can be found in the nearby Frauenbadi Seengen. The easiest way to get to the men’s pool is with the Hallwilerseeschiff. The pier Seengen (lake) is about 100m to the west. From the bus stops "Seengen, Rotes Haus" and "Seengen, Brestenberg" it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the pool. There are no parking spaces directly at the pool.
