    Easy mountain hike that requires sure-footedness in the first half. Otherwise, wide hiking trails. The route is regularly well marked with yellow signs.

    The path can also be walked counterclockwise.

    Author’s recommendation

    The route can be walked in both directions.

    A visit to Wildegg Castle offers something for everyone: Christmas market, castle tours, rare species seedling market, etc.

    The farm shop is open depending on the season.

    Roadbook

    From Wildegg Castle, follow the yellow markers up to the ridge of the Chestenberg. You hike along this ridge in a west-east direction (partly T2). At some points, there are beautiful panoramas to the north or south. Soon Brunegg Castle is also reached. The castle is privately owned and is generally not open to the public.

    For the return route, follow the marked path via P.505, P.447, and P.403 to Möriken. The onward path goes past various villas along the northern edge of the village back to the starting point.
