Ampfernhöhe

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Here up leads a rather weakly driven Nebensträßchen, the increase is only very moderate and fluid to drive. On the steeper part through shady forest, even in summer quite pleasant.

The Benkerjoch (also written Bänkerjoch) is a Swiss pass in the canton of Aargau, which connects Küttigen and Oberhof. From Frick, a postbus goes to Aarau (and back) via the Benkerjoch, where it stops. It leads a forest road from the pass to Staffelegg. Hiking trails lead to the Wasserflue.

Benkerjoch South Ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The beautiful and quite steep route climbs almost 200 meters from Küttigen.

Two sectors are particularly strenuous, with gradients of > 15%.

At the top you are rewarded with a beautiful view.

Wildegg

Highlight • Castle

The Castle Wildegg, located on a rocky spur of the Chestenberg, consists at the core of a well-preserved castle from the 12th century with keep and Palas. In the 17th century, the castle was enlarged and rebuilt into a baroque residential castle. Castle owner Julie von Effinger died in 1912 without descendants. She bequeathed the castle with all the equipment and the associated domain of the Swiss Confederation, which gave the whole estate to the Swiss National Museum for administration. Since 2011, the castle domain belongs to a foundation established by the canton of Aargau and is managed by the Museum Aargau.

Highlight • Bridge

The railway bridge was once created as an iron construction. She has kept her special character even after the expansion. Below the railway bridge, the pedestrian bridge leads through. From her you can see the Aare and the small island.
