Really a very nice, but sometimes a strenuous tour. At least for people who don't hike that much. Really good shoes and a sufficient and good physical condition are important. Then you can go. It is interesting and in good weather there are MEGA GREAT views. There's also a lot of rest areas. All in all, SUPER BEAUTIFUL.

The lime tree stands wonderfully on the pass. The benches all around invite you to take a break.

In the winter months, the waterfall - after all, the highest in the canton of Aargau - usually has little water. But the stalactites on the rock walls that form in freezing temperatures are impressive. Further information: https://www.teddy-b.ch/urlaubszielen/linner-wasserfall-ag-mister-gernegross/
