The highest point in the canton of Aargau is right next to the hiking trail, so you have to put up with the three-minute detour.
Unfortunately, from here you do not have the brilliant view as from the Geissflue.

March 18, 2026, Rünenberger Giessen

Described above is the upper waterfall, the "Rünenberger Gießen", where the water falls over a curved rock face 18 m into the depths, forming a stately tufa pyramid below, with the jet atomizing roaring and foaming depending on the water level. In winter, fascinating icicle formations are created at sub-zero temperatures. Above the waterfall is the "Löligumpi", where you could swim in the past. A little further down follows the Kleine Giessen - also with a beautiful tuff cone.

Ideal if you can visit the waterfall during the week. There are very nice fire pits.

Since the Wiesenberg is in the forest, this observation tower makes sense. It takes hikers above the treetops and allows a 360-degree panorama. There are panorama boards. The climb is worth it.

During the Second World War, this tower was used as an air observation post. The forest grew higher and higher, making it necessary to expand the tower. In 1953, it was increased by 6 meters and in 1987 by a further 9.5 meters.
