Everybody has seen the yellow hiking trail markers in Switzerland. But hardly anyone wonders who is responsible for them. The marked Swiss hiking trail network is around 65,000 km, which is about 1.5 times the circumference of the earth. Behind this professional service is a great deal of volunteer work done in cantonal organizations, supported by the umbrella organization “Schweizer Wanderwege.” In the cantons of Basel-Stadt and Basellandschaft, the “Wanderwege beider Basel” association is responsible for these tasks. About 50 volunteers also offer other services for hikers, such as guided hikes in various parts of Switzerland as well as in Alsace and the Black Forest, including some in English.
This season, there will be five guided hiking tours in English. Your experienced hiking guide, Hanspeter Preiswerk, who has worked in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry for many years, will be leading these free hikes.
On this day, the hike will take you from Magden to Buus. The widely visible lookout on the Sunneberg is a well-known hiking destination in the area. The panoramic view from the top justifies the sweaty ascent. The hike along the Schönenberg lets you appreciate the lovely view on Maisprach and its vineyards.
You should bring your own food and drink, hiking boots and suitable clothing for the weather, and your U-Abo or individually purchased train ticket.
Meeting place is at the Basel SBB at 9:40 at the S1 to Laufenburg, with the outgoing journey at 9:50 (S1 via Rheinfelden) arriving at Magden, Post at 10:26. The return journey from Buus, Dorf (B100 via Rheinfelden) will depart at 14:51 and arrive at the Basel SBB at 15:41.
Participation is free and limited to around 30 participants; register directly with your guide at 079 395 9758 or hanspeter.preiswerk@teleport.ch by September 24.
