3 Days Hike: Liestal - Hauenstein - Sempach (~65km)

Another segment of the trail no 7 from Basel to Chiasso, this time the part in the north, I skip one day segment from Basel to Liestal, and started in Liestal.

Some distances from Liestal:

Liestal - Sissach 2h 5m
Liestal - Belchenflue 6h 10m
Liestal - Rheinfelden 4h 25m
Liestal - Murenberg 1h 55m

Liestal - Dornach (Alternative) 3h 35m

The trail goes through small villages, more urban than nature (didn't take so many photos of the urban part) like Sissach, and entering Homburgertal with Ruemlingen, Laeufelfingen, and eventually reached the Hauenstein 690m.

Just before I descended from Hauenstein village, I tried to climb on one of the boulders of Hauenstein, and on a small spot of just 10m2 I pitched the tent for tonight, with a great view down to Olten and on the side going down 20-30m.

Good night sleep, leaving 8:30 and descending Trimbach and then Olten, along the Aare river and reaching Aarburg, and from there navigating through urban Oftringen and Zofingen, where one of the busiest highway are routed through. I knew this could become a challenging day, as I wasn't sure how far I would hike and the day was sunny and getting warm to 23C eventually, more in the direct sun. Eventually I ended up reaching Dagmarsellen, quite tired already but I knew I would have to ascend to Santeberg with its forest to find a good place to pitch the tent, so I ended up another 1hr until I found a good place.

The pre-alp region with soft hills are nice to hike in spring time, while the higher regions of the alps still are covered by snow, and some of the passes like St. Gotthard still closed.

That's it.
