Description

Hello, dear Hiking Buddies!
+++ WEATHER iS LOOKING ALRIGHT FOR SUNDAY, SO THE EVENT IS SET! +++
Here is my suggestion for a group hike along the mountain ridge from Widen to Baden for SUNday, 9.11., with the following details - please read until the end:

  • start/meeting point = "Berikon-Widen" train station,
  • starting time = 9:45 o'clock sharp,
  • finish: "Baden" train station,
  • distance = ca. 17 km,
  • duration = 4.5-5 hours (without breaks), so ~ 5:45-6:15 hours with breaks/photo stops/slow group,
  • uphill (total) = 280 m,
  • downhill (total) = 480 m,
  • difficulty = easy (mostly downhill),
  • activity level = medium,
  • official track = yellow paths and field roads.

The hike is supposed to be for beginners and/or family friendly. Hence, we are not going too fast (only on request)! You can also bring your (winter) hiking equipment for testing and adjusting. I am happy to give advice, if you need.
There will be some sightseeing surprises on the way to make it more interesting, but no spoilers here.

Feel free to join - register here! And please keep and eye on the waiting list, as I might adjust it or people drop out last minute.

Good to know

How to get there (from Zürich HB):
Take the regional train S12 (going to Brugg) to Dietikon, departure 9:14 o'clock from platform 41/42.
Arrive at "Dietikon" and change quickly to S17 (going to Wohlen). You have 3 min to change. Meet me either in Dietikon or Berikon-Widen.

What to consider:
- Please wear proper footwear according to the weather (light hiking shoes recommended).
- Wear clothes that keep you dry and warm, according to your needs and the weather.
- Bring hiking poles, if you want to train with them. (Introduction can be given.)
- Please take enough water and provisions with you for the day, as most shops/restaurants are closed on Sundays. Free water refill is possible on the way at a few locations.
- Finally, don't forget good mood!

Bonus:
Please bring a swimsuit and a towel with you. We might have the opportunity for a -SPOILER- afterwards!
