2 Portrait

Hergiswil is a highly attractive place to live. It is situated on the shores of Lake and surrounded by Mount on one side and by Mount Lopper on the other side. Over the years the two traditional parts “Hergiswil Dorf” and “Hergiswil Matt” have grown and new resi- dential areas have been developed and integrated. The local bus helps to connect these ar- eas. The bus is free and the service is being trialed until the end of 2021.

Centrally located Hergiswil is well connected with Lucerne, Sarnen, and even Zurich by public transport or through the motorway. Commuting is easy thanks to the two train sta- tions “Hergiswil Dorf” and “Hergiswil Matt” where trains stop every 15 minutes.

The healthy business location of Hergiswil is linked to the moderate tax rate that the munici- pality has been pursuing for decades.
