Geo-hiking trail Küttigen

Theme trailHiking trail
Time required: 47 minutesLength: 2.21 km

Jurapark Aargau - On an easy hike, the most important stages of the formation of the Kettenjura and interesting facts about rocks and fossils can be learned with the help of information panels. A small rest area with a barbecue facility invites you to linger.

Since the Triassic period 245 million years ago, climate changes, mountain formations and sea flooding have shaped and repeatedly transformed the landscape of the Kettenjura. The Küttigen–Staffelegg geo-hiking trail was created with the aim of making these exciting and interesting processes accessible to a wider audience. At the same time, it also aims to raise public awareness of the scenic beauty and uniqueness inevitably linked to the geological processes. On an easy hike, the most important stages of the Kettenjura formation and interesting facts about rocks and fossils can be learned with the help of information panels. A small rest area with a barbecue facility at the gypsum outcrop “Stägelimatt” invites hikers to linger.
