This small hike is somewhat a continuation of last week hike, this time starting in Frick and hiking toward Salhöhe and then Wasserflue - slight overcast of yesterday's rain fall. I take the train to Frick (12:00)

Some distances:

Frick - Laufenburg 3h 25m
Frick - Mettau 4h 5m
Frick - Koblenz 6h 55m
Frick - Siggenthal 6h 15m
Frick - Brugg 4h 45m

Frick - Staffelegg 4h 40m
Frick - Aarau 4h 35m (the one I take)
Frick - Gelterkinden 5h
Frick - Anwil 3h 20m

and start to walk through the small village toward Wittnau,

Some more distances:

Wittnau - Effingen 4h 10m
Wittnau - Salhöhe 2h 40m (the one I take)
Wittnau - Rothenfluh 2h 45m
Wittnau - Mumpf 4h
Wittnau - Stein-Säckingen 3h 10m

where I walk the hike trail #42 toward Salhöhe / Aarau, around 15:15 I reach Wasserflue, a small ridge of apprx. 800m elevation. As there is little space to pitch the tent, I descend from the ridge toward Wilenberg, where I find a bench, fireplace, and a small spot flat enough to pitch the tent for tonight (18:00). Was an easy hike, yet, I drank 3l water just on those ~5hrs hike, with mild 25°C and slightly overcast, and in the distance thunder but rain did not approach me this evening.
