The forests glow in warm shades of red, gold and orange; the air is clear and fresh – the perfect time to lace up your hiking boots and discover the most beautiful autumn hikes. Here are our top recommendations for unforgettable autumn hikes in the Baden region.
Lägern ridge walk
This autumn hike over the Lägern ridge is a classic and is particularly enjoyable in the colourful season. The trail starts in the picturesque village of Regensdorf. From here, the hiking trail initially leads through the forest and climbs steadily. The idyllic path soon becomes somewhat rockier and steeper – a sign that the Lägern, a narrow mountain ridge, has been reached. At this point, hikers can choose between two routes: For those with a head for heights, we recommend the ridge path, from which you can expect stunning autumnal views.
Heitersberg mountain
The Heitersberg mountain hike leads from Dietikon through dense forests. Passing Lake Aegelsee and continuing over the Heitersberg, this colourful autumn hike ends in Baden. The wide fields offer a breathtaking view of the autumn landscape. If you’re looking for a textbook autumn hike, you’ve come to the right place in the truest sense of the word: the many vantage points provide fantastic photo opportunities and create impressive memories.
Schwabenweg
If you want to soak up some autumn atmosphere without too much effort and with little time, the Schwabenweg trail is for you. After all, hiking in autumn doesn’t always have to be up high! If you fancy an idyllic circular walk in fresh air, this easy hike is just the thing for you. From the Baldegg restaurant parking lot, follow the signposted forest path and you will come out at the same spot just under an hour later.
