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.
