There are three nice barbecue areas in the Wiesentäli - we were able to use the Wiesentäli barbecue area to grill sausages. With a fountain with fresh water. See also https://grillstelle.ch/grillstellen/810/wiesentaeli/uebersicht

Always beautiful, has a few steps, the trail that leads down to the barbecue area on the cultural trail is blocked by various tree trunks, perhaps intentionally😢

Very beautiful, amazingly quiet valley - you don't have the impression of being so close to the Limmattal and the Agglo. But beware: the owners of Hof Wiesental have apparently had very bad experiences with passers-by. The little road that leads right past the farm may not even be used on foot...

Beautiful, well-developed path through the small Busslinger Tobel. Not accessible for riders (steps and narrow bridge), not suitable for wheelchairs, walkers or prams because there are many steps.

A very nice stretch through slippery limestone. The path is quite narrow but not too difficult to master. The path ends on the "old warehouse". If you continue to the right from there, you will find yourself on broad paths quite quickly (Hochwacht). In the other direction you can hike on rather narrow paths to Baden.
