A varied tour around the lake, often on bike paths, but unfortunately also on roads. But the positives count.

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.

Around 3000 years ago, pile dwellers settled on the shores of Lake Hallwil. Impressive remains of their buildings were discovered in 1923 in Seengen-Riesi, in what is now the Riesi Moor Reserve. In addition to well-preserved wooden structures, ceramics, jewelry, millstones and tools were also found. The site is now part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Prehistoric Pile Dwellings around the Alps". The reconstruction of a pile dwelling nearby tells the story. It has been replaced in recent months. This is because the original reconstruction, created in 1988, had sunk more than a meter into the ground over the years and had also repeatedly suffered from flooding: the small wooden building was recently in such a bad condition that it could no longer be saved. Finally, the cantonal archaeology department, together with the municipality, the Burghalde Lenzburg Museum and the Rotary Clubs of Lenzburg and Lenzburg-Seetal, decided to replace the building. The shell of the building is now complete and the roof was recently fitted with shingles.
