Hiking holidays Jura Crest Trail Regensdorf - Balsthal TO
Hiking: Jura Crest Trail
The village Regensbergis a picture-perfect start for one of the most scenic hikes in Switzerland. The first part of this hike is charming, but soon comes to a rough end on the rugged ridge of Lägerngrat. This first challenge ends with a cooling bath in the small town of Baden.
Arrival to Regensdorf
Regensberg – Baden
By bus via Dielsdorf to Regensberg. Gently uphill through vineyards to the small town of Regensberg and Lägern with wonderful views. Challenging descend to Baden.
Baden – Brugg
From Baden to the Gebenstorfer Horn with views of Switzerland’s natural water resources, Brugg on the River Aare and nearby Windisch.
Brugg – Herzberg
After crossing Brugg's old town, the first uphill stretch to the Vier Linden country guesthouse embedded in the Jurapark, and via the forest to the ancient as well as legendary Linner Linde (linden tree). On uphill through shady forests to the Schenkenberg ruins, seen from afar, and on to Staffelegg.
Herzberg – Wisen (SO)
Get to know five passes: Staffelegg, Bänkerjoch, Salhöhe, Schafmatt and lastly the Untere Hauenstein. In between, lots of woodland, many pastures and the rugged Geissfluh vantage point on the border of Baselland.
Wisen (SO) – Balsthal
En route to Belchenfluh, the many buildings and coats of arms are reminders of Swiss defences in two World Wars. Soon follows tiny Bärenwil, on via Tiefmatt to Roggen. Far below, Balsthal greets you with its Neu-Falkenstein castle and paper mill
