Friday, 14 degrees and sunshine ☀️ - during the course of the tour it rose to 25.5 degrees ☀️.
Today we went to Fricktal and walked the superbly signposted Chriesiwäg not from Frick train station but in Gipf-Oberfrick on the designated and free Chriesiwäg parking lot🥾☀️👌

The Chriesiwäg is very busy when it is in bloom and especially over Easter, but especially on these days there are food stands everywhere, there is a barbecue and everyone is in a good mood.
It was nice to be out and about in a familiar area again, some things have changed, but the beautiful landscape has remained.
The small …

April 12, 2025,AG/ Blust 🌼- Wanderung 🥾 auf dem Fricktaler Chriesiwäg. 🍒☀️

A blossom hike on the Cherry Trail, 🍒 the one I did, is located in the Fricktal region in the canton of Aargau, specifically in the Gipf-Oberfrick area.

There was a shorter, 5 km, family-friendly route that's also suitable for strollers.

A longer 9 km route, which also includes the Alt-Tierstein ruins.

A very wet day in the Jurapark walking lovely gravel roads with the goal to visit the Tierstein ruins.

The rain started from the carpark and continued throughout the entire walk. Even so, a very enjoyable walk.

I imagine on a sunny day with the trees in bloom this is an incredibly lovely area.

Like every year, a very beautiful round for the cherry blossoms 🌸 in Fricktal. I absolutely wanted to do the round before the announced rain this evening 🎒 🚶🏻‍♀️. The neighbor had indeed grumbled that the blossoms were already over, but the photos show: it was great again!
All the benches along the way were well occupied by day-trippers and …

We were able to marvel at the blossoming cherry trees on the large circuit of the Fricktaler Chriesiweg. The highlight for us was that we saw several chamois.

February 11, 2024,Gipf Oberfrick- Birkenhof-Rastplatz Farschberg-Ruine Alt Tierstein-Gipf Oberfrick (AG) Wanderung (Einfache) 11.02.2024

This beautiful and pleasant hike starts directly at the car park at Frick (AG) train station (charges apply). The parking fee can only be paid via the SBB P+Rail app or if you have an SBB parking card.

It's an easy hike, although theoretically Komoot classifies it as moderately difficult, probably due to its almost 10 km length. You can …
