Strihe, Mountain summit in Densbüren, Switzerland
Strihe is a mountain summit in the Aargau Jura reaching 867 meters (2,844 feet) above sea level. The peak and surrounding slopes display limestone rock formations and varied geological structures shaped by natural processes.
The mountain took shape through geological activity that built the Jura range over millions of years. The limestone layers visible today resulted from ancient ocean conditions followed by tectonic lifting and erosion.
Local farmers have maintained agricultural traditions around Strihe for generations, utilizing the mountain slopes for grazing livestock and cultivating specific crops.
Well-marked trails depart from Densbüren and lead to the summit, with parking available near the trailheads. The routes are accessible and manageable for most hikers exploring the region.
The name often suggests it is the highest peak in the canton, yet Geissfluegrat nearby actually rises considerably taller. This geographical fact often surprises visitors who assume the designation reflects its true elevation rank.
