Very nice "Burehof-Beizli" to linger. For bikes there are extra parking spaces, even charging facilities for e-bikes are available as well as simple bike tools are ready. Culinary there is always something fine to snack on, and the drink selection is also large. Seating is available (under cover as well as outside). The "Beizli" is maintained with love, thank you very much for that.

Very nice and "flowing" to ride. But you have to expect (a lot of) oncoming traffic :)

A historic castle mill from the 14th century is located right next to the "Hallwyl" castle. The mill is now a museum where guided tours are also held. There are plenty of parking spaces in the immediate vicinity (castle parking lot).

A beautifully designed, simple forest café with (covered) seating. They offer chilled drinks, punch, coffee, tea, schnapps, and cake. Payment is accepted in cash or, in a pinch, with Twint. There is no price list; everyone is welcome to pay what they feel is appropriate.
