Itinerary description
The trail starts in Dielsdorf and begins with a gentle climb through the vineyards to Regensberg—a lovely town built on a rocky spur. It continues through the forest until you reach the Jura hill.
Running the summit of the hills is a bit technical, and the path is partly exposed but really enjoyable with a view of the Alps.
From there, you'll descend to reach the old town of Baden by crossing the bridge near the Bailiff's Castle. I lost my way in the city; therefore, the GPS track isn't that straightforward at that location.
After going up to the castle at the top of the city, the run continues and finishes in Brugg, mostly through forest roads.
In short: it starts in Dielsdorf and follows the yellow sign "5 Jura-Höhenweg".
Waypoints:
- Dielsdorf
- Regensberg
- Baden
- Brugg
