March 11, 2026,Frick - Wittnau

A beautiful and well-marked hike from Frick train station over the Thiersteinberg hill to Wittnau.

Along the way, you'll pass the ruins of Alt Thierstein Castle and many lovely rest areas and viewpoints.

Now we're looking forward to stage 2 from Wittnau to Aarau.

1st stage of the Aargauer Weg from Frick to Wittnau. A challenging climb up the Tiersteinberg. The path is beautiful at the top. The Alt-Tierstein ruins are a must-see. Just before Wittnau, there is the Lourdes Grotto.
A lovely hike.

A very nice hike that you can do even in uncertain weather. can undertake. The landscape is typical. First Jura chain, there are two along the way. Very nice barbecue areas, so take Cervelat with you.
The tour can also be done very well by bike

April 6, 2026,Fricktaler Chriesiwäg 🍒 - Ruine Alt Tierstein 👻

Easter Monday. And I have an important question: am I too early for the cherry blossoms – or is the Aargau already managing that too?

Starting in Frick on the Fricktaler Chriesiweg / additional route. The cherry trees are blooming at my home. The neighboring canton is therefore under slight observation.
