Benkerjoch Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

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.

Küttigen

Highlight • Settlement

Municipality Küttigen (Rebbaudorf)
The municipality consists of two districts. In the middle Aabachtal lies the main settlement Küttigen.
This is followed in the southwest of the municipality Rombach, which lies between the Buechwald and the west bank of the Aabachs. Somewhat offset in the Horenbachtal are the districts Horen and Kirchberg. All four districts have grown together loosely, while Rombach seamlessly merges into the development of Aarau. Neighboring communities are Oberhof in the northwest, Densbüren in the north, Thalheim in the northeast, Biberstein in the east, Aarau in the south and Erlinsbach AG in the west.

Northern ascent to Saalhöhe Pass (787 m)

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The height of the hall forms the canton border between Aargau and Solothurn. As the fastest connection between Aarau and Basel, this pass is still only moderately traveled. From the pass, which is located directly at a mountain clinic, you have a beautiful view of the hills of the Aargauer Jura

Kienberg Cross

Highlight • Viewpoint

A simple cross with a bus stop in the middle of the most beautiful nature. As the highest point on the route between Kienberg and Anwil, there is still a beautiful view in both directions and thus justifies a short stop.

Steep Climb to Anwil

Highlight • Climb

Just before Anwil, the slope suddenly steepens, reaching up to 15%. The gradients do not remain very high for long. If you are fit, you can do a little intensity here; otherwise, slow down for these few meters.
