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.

The name Strihe is also written Strihen or Densbürer Strihen, the last pointing to the municipality of Densbüren, on whose land the summit and the neighbouring Asperstrihe both lie. The mountain is regarded as the highest peak lying entirely within the canton of Aargau, a distinction often read into the name by visitors.

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 Strihe is the highest mountain lying entirely within the canton of Aargau, at 867 m. It is neither the canton's highest point, the Geissfluegrat at 908 m, nor its highest summit, the Stierenberg at 872 m. The neighbouring Asperstrihe also lies in Densbüren.
