What this means

Im Bereich des Hallwilerseeschutzdekrets ist das Campieren verboten — das betrifft den grössten Teil des Gemeindegebiets am See. Ausserhalb davon braucht das Aufstellen von Zelten auf öffentlichem Grund eine Bewilligung, auf Privatgrund die Zustimmung des Eigentümers.

Camping is prohibited in the area of the Hallwil Lake Protection Decree — this affects most of the municipal area on the lake. Outside of this, setting up tents on public land requires a permit, and on private property the consent of the owner.

Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.

§ 9 des Polizeireglements (Muster der Regionalpolizei Lenzburg) verlangt auf öffentlichem Grund ausserhalb eingerichteter Plätze eine Bewilligung; auf Privatgrund genügt die Zustimmung des Eigentümers, ab drei Fahrzeugen oder fünfzehn Personen kommt eine Gemeindebewilligung dazu. Die Gemeindeschreiberin fasst es so zusammen: «Ein Campieren in Fahrwangen ist sehr schwierig.» Zum Übernachten ohne Zelt sagt das Reglement nichts.

§ 9 of the police regulations (model of the Lenzburg regional police) requires a permit on public land outside of established places; on private property, the consent of the owner is sufficient, and from three vehicles or fifteen people a municipal permit is added. The municipal clerk sums it up as follows: "Camping in Fahrwangen is very difficult." The regulations say nothing about spending the night without a tent.
