Seetal Wine Trail (Mosen – Aesch – Hitzkirch – Gelfingen)

Between Hallwilersee and Baldeggersee, this wine trail follows vineyards, ravines and villages through the Seetal. Schloss Heidegg forms a striking finale above Gelfingen.

From Mosen railway station, the wine trail initially leads to the shore of Hallwilersee. It leaves the village between the houses and continues through meadows and vineyards to Aesch. At the Klosterhof winery, winegrowing takes centre stage; the Altwisertobel ravine then provides a shadier contrast to the open cultivated landscape.

Beyond Aesch, the trail continues to climb. Roughly halfway along, the route reaches its highest point near the Lindenberg at around 600 metres. It continues via Bleulikon to Hitzkirch, passing the commandery and the Church of St Pankratius. Meadows, stretches of woodland and vineyard slopes alternate; near Kaiserspan, winegrowing once again shapes the trail.

On the final section, the route leads to Schloss Heidegg. The castle stands high above Baldeggersee in a parkland and cultural landscape of national importance; the rose garden is another stop along the trail. From the castle, the trail descends past the Church of St Wendelin to Gelfingen, ending at the railway station after just over two and a half hours.
