A loop through Baden’s Teufelskeller nature reserve — a protected primeval forest with massive Nagelfluh rock formations, hidden caves, gorges, and trees up to 50 m tall. The terrain feels wild and ancient, like stepping into another world just minutes from town. Good shoes recommended.

600 m elev.
~4 hrs
The classic ridge hike from Dielsdorf/Regensberg to Baden. You traverse a narrow, exposed limestone ridge with views of the Alps to the south and the Black Forest to the north. Some scrambling and sections with chains. Requires sure-footedness and a head for heights — there’s an easier bypass if needed. Finishes with a steep descent into Baden’s old town.
