Located at the foot of Mount Pilatus and on the shores of Lake Lucerne, shielded by the Lopperberg, the municipality of Hergiswil presents itself as an attractive residential and vacation resort.

In addition to the two traditional parts of the village, Hergiswil Dorf and Hergiswil Matt, additional residential areas have developed at higher altitudes in recent decades.

Hergiswil is centrally located in terms of transport links and is an important transport hub in the Central Switzerland region. A good quarter of an hour separates Hergiswil from Lucerne, and Zurich is just an hour away - the direct connection to the A2 ensures such short distances. Public transport connections are also ideal. Trains to Lucerne or Stans/Engelberg stop in Hergiswil at regular intervals, as well as trains to Sarnen/Brünig.

The healthy business location of Hergiswil is naturally linked to the attractive tax policy that the municipality has been pursuing for decades. All under the principle: low taxes benefit everyone.
