About Seewen SZ
Seewen is part of the municipality of Schwyz, lying west of the old village centre and east of the Urmiberg. It is where the canton keeps its practical side: Schwyz railway station with its express stop, the bus terminal, the motorway exit and the seewen markt shopping centre are all here. The Seeweren brook runs through the village, and there is a municipal bathing area on Lake Lauerz, whose water gets very warm in midsummer. For evenings, Clovers Pub stands next to the station and Gleis 2 is a bar in a former freight shed. The homes are in and around Seewen, and most have a garden; check each listing for the details.
