Benkerjoch Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

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.

Benkerjoch South Ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The beautiful and quite steep route climbs almost 200 meters from Küttigen.

Two sectors are particularly strenuous, with gradients of > 15%.

At the top you are rewarded with a beautiful view.

Kasteln Castle

Highlight • Castle

Kasteln Castle is a castle in the municipality of Schinznach in the Swiss canton of Aargau. It is located west of the village on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by vineyards and forests. Today it serves as a school home for normally talented, behavior-sensitive students. The nearby castle Ruchenstein was demolished in 1643, when the Castle Kasteln was rebuilt into a castle.
