Jurapark Aargau - The five kilometre "Chriesiwäg" (cherry trail) goes through the beautiful landscape of the Frick valley and provides interesting information about cherry-growing.

This circular walk passes through half-standard plantations as well as traditional, naturally managed standard orchards that provide a habitat for many different species including the common redstart and sand lizard.

The white trees are a feast for the eyes (and the camera lens) when spring arrives. During the harvest season, walkers can buy cherries straight from the producer on the wayside. Picking cherries ist not allowed.

There are very few public parking spaces available, so we recommend arriving by public transport. You can reach the Chriesiwäg from the Frick train station in 10 minutes on foot
