Staffelegg - Brugg
Fourteenth stage From Les Rousses to Lake Constance via the Jura ridges. This relatively short stage takes you from the lowest pass in the Jura, the Staffelegg, offering breathtaking views of the Herzberg, Asperstrihe and Wasserfluh. You then cross vast alpine-style pastures before entering the peaceful Linnerberg forest. Take the time to stop in front of the majestic Linn Linden Tree, a legendary tree over 700 years old, with a circumference of over eleven metres, which has survived three fires. The hike continues with a long descent through the impressive Aare Gorge, finally leading to the charming historic town of Brugg, rich in heritage and atmosphere.
The banks of the Aare between Olten and Aarau
A spring walk, a good 19 km warm-up that follows the Aare between Olten and Aarau. Nothing exceptional, but a few lovely stretches along the water’s edge, with plenty of water birds whose song is unfortunately drowned out on several occasions by the railway line, which is never far from the path. The Gösgen nuclear power station is ever-present during the first half of the route, which circles around it.
Hauenstein - Staffelegg
Stage 13 – From Les Rousses to Lake Constance via the Jura ridges.
This demanding stage takes us over five successive passes: after Hauenstein come Schafmatt, Salhöhe, Bänkerjoch and finally the Staffelegg Pass. Between these passes, the terrain becomes more intense with the ascent of the Geissfluh, a steep peak marking the border of the canton of Basel-Landschaft. The route alternates between dense Jura forests, peaceful clearings and a few open pastures, offering a beautiful variety of landscapes and atmospheres.
Brugg - Dielsdorf
Fifteenth stage From Les Rousses to Lake Constance via the Jura ridges. This stage marks the end of the ridge trail, running from west to east through the typical landscapes of the Swiss Jura. To conclude, a gentle descent winds its way through the vineyards, taking you to Dielsdorf, a charming village nestled at the foot of the Lägern, the last rocky outcrop of the eastern Jura.
Belchenflue mountain through the "Devil" gorges
The Swiss Jura Belchen, the Alsatian Belchen (Ballon d'Alsace) and the Black Forest Belchen all form the peaks of a right-angle triangle, mystical sunrise observation point dating back to Celtic times (Belchen comes from "Belenus" the celtic god of sun). You'll gain access to this exceptional viewpoint through the "Devil's" gorges lined with steep walls, waterfalls, caves and caverns. The way back, along the "military path" is full of vestiges and ends with typical Jura landscapes.

The multi-day tour described here takes you along the western route to the Feldberg and back down to Höchenschwand via the eastern route. From there, the Wolfssteig (23 km) takes you down to Waldshut-Tiengen and finally by train back to the starting point in Albbruck.
On the banks of the Rhine in Rheinfelden

Return via the historic town and its old bridge, the Altebrücke.
The two Rheinfelden, the Rhine Island and the hydroelectric power station
A walk along the banks of the Rhine, close to the water’s edge and across the river. It runs from Germany to Switzerland via a bridge and an island, and from Switzerland to Germany via the Rheinfelden dam. There are numerous vantage points along the way, including a section through the old town of Rheinfelden (CH).

Stage 2 takes you from Göhrwihl back down into the Alb Valley, then over the Dachsberg, to the Albstausee reservoir and up to Häusern.
Nordschwaben, Hunzelbachtal and Hohe Flum
The route is shaped like a figure of eight. The first part involves walking around the Hunzelbachtal via the sculpture trail, St Maurice’s Chapel and the remarkable little stream, 800 metres long, which disappears into a sinkhole (3 km route). In the second part, back in Nordschwaben, the walk heads to the highest point of the Dinkelberg, the Hohe Flum, at 535 metres. Here you can visit the tower with its panoramic view and the café-hotel-restaurant (closed on Thursdays and Fridays).
Eichener See: in search of a lake that appears and disappears
The main attraction is Eichenersee. You’ll probably have to visit several times as it’s quite rare. It may appear once or twice a year, and in some years not at all. After a very rainy spell, when the groundwater rises, water seeps up through the ground and the basin fills. The place is magical. Then we’ll head up into the hills north of the Dinkelberg.
