Fricktal High Trail (3): Wegenstetten - Frick

Hiking trail
Time required: 3 hours 10 minutesLength: 11.50 km

Jurapark Aargau - The Fricktal High Trail - 60 well-marked hiking kilometers that enchant in every season!

Along the Fricktal High Trail, you will experience the Fricktal at its most beautiful. When cherry blossoms bloom and meadows shine yellow. When a thunderstorm approaches in the distance and the break at the barbecue area or the restaurant is so cozy that you wish to linger forever. Or when the colorful leaves cover the forest path in autumn and the heights of Fricktal, the Black Forest, and the Basel region rise white into the clear winter air.
