Today my hike begins at St. Catherine's Church in Ifenthal and leads up to Challhöchi. The climb quickly gets me into a rhythm, and at the top, old concrete blocks and a bunker serve as reminders that this area was once part of the Swiss defenses on the Hauenstein. My pulse has barely returned to normal

Today's plan was actually the magnificent Stage 4 of the "Jura High Trail" over the Bölchen – but as life would have it… Today I only sneak out of bed for a short excursion: flu or not, the Murenberg is calling, quietly but firmly. Not a long hike, more of a leisurely stroll at a "recovery-friendly

Sunday morning. I start off relatively leisurely and still dry – in the cemetery in Sissach. No birds, no traffic, just the soft crunching under my hiking boots.
Then it's uphill, uphill – up to the Sissacherfluh. At about 700 meters above sea level, it towers over the Ergolz Valley and stands as a true

Despite the wintry chill, I was up early this morning – starting at the Staffelegg Pass at 621 meters. The sky is clear, the air fresh, and I'm getting ready (armed with a still-warm buttered pretzel) for about 21 kilometers and a good 700 meters of elevation gain towards Olten, traversing the Jura ridge

At Brugg train station, I tighten my shoes one last time and think about my last visit here… After the challenging Lägeren ridge, I arrived here like an exhausted marmot, my tongue practically touching the ground – but today I'm starting fresh and curious about everything that's in store 😉
Barely past

I'm setting off on a short, pleasant Sunday morning walk around Eptingen – looking forward to a cozy fondue and the first Christmas cookies afterward 😋
The sky is putting on its own little drama today: rain, wind, rain, clouds… weather that invites you to slow down and is perfect for the approaching

My walk starts at the Langenthal Animal Park, a roughly 3-hectare deer park with about 80 animals – from red deer and pygmy goats to ponies and donkeys. Right from the first enclosure, you can tell: this is a little oasis of calm right near the town.
The walk continues through fields and along forest

We begin our hike in Vorauen, at the back of the Klöntal valley. The lake lies still, covering an area of approximately 3.3 km² and stretching about 6 km in length. At its deepest point, it plunges about 49 meters. Its origins date back quite some time: around 10,000 years ago, a massive landslide from

A cool November morning settles over Trogen, perched atop its hill, with its baroque mansions, striking church, and a touch of history in the air. We're looking forward to 14 kilometers of gently rolling Appenzell countryside.
Today, I'm accompanied by someone from my professional circle. It's wonderful

Hinweis: Einzelne Abschnitte des Weges auf der Strassenseite sind aktuell wegen Holzschlag, Steinschlag und Lawinengefahr gesperrt. Man kann die Runde daher nicht durchgängig auf dem Wanderweg gehen und weicht dort kurze Stücke auf die Strasse aus. Die Restaurants direkt am See haben Winterpause und sind geschlossen.

On December 22nd, I always start my day with that special feeling of being free to do whatever I want – like every year, I can simply set off on my own adventure. Many people aren't aware of this – but autumn is only now officially bidding farewell, and winter is taking over, on this day that follows
