Jurapark Aargau - Scenic hike from the Löwen restaurant in Herznach via the Strihen to the Jura restaurant in Asp
The hike goes from Herznach over the Strihen to Asp and offers several highlights: In Herznach is the Genuss-Strassen-Restaurant Löwen - an ideal place for a culinary start to the hiking day. Also, a stop at the Herznach Mine is worthwhile, especially a ride with the tunnel railway. Then you head into the green and up to the Strihen. On the way, a break at the Waldhaus Strihen with a round of forest minigolf is recommended. The hike continues to the scenic part on the Strihen: the gently green Jura hills can be admired from several viewpoints here. The final part of the route runs through the village of Asp and to the Genuss-Strassen-Restaurant Jura for the culinary finish.
The route can be shortened to 2h 30min if, instead of the path over the Strihen, the hiking trail below is chosen.
