    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.

    The Benkerjoch (also written Bänkerjoch) is a Swiss pass in the canton of Aargau that connects Küttigen and Oberhof. Below the pass on the north side is the hamlet of Benken, which belongs to the municipality of Oberhof.
    The Benkenpass was first mentioned in documents in 1426. Until 1801 it formed the border between Upper Austria and the Swiss Confederation. In 1977 a new Benkenstrasse was built, which was renovated in 2013
