Then the route turns left towards the east and leads down via Waldegg into the village of Menziken. To the south, alongside the Alpine panorama, one can see the tower of the Landessender Beromünster (1931–2008), which is now a protected monument. Menziken, with its 6,500 inhabitants, is the southernmost village in the Wynental. Until 1992, the village was served by the SBB line Beinwil am See–Beromünster; since then, buses have operated. The old railway track towards Beromünster has been converted into a bike path. The Oberwynental is also called Stumpenland, in memory of the tobacco industry that was located here last century."

=====================================

- Tip
- 4.77 km long
- Hike

**Stierenberg Summit – Vorderer Stierenberg – Menziken Station.** This stage leads from the highest peak in Aargau, the Stierenberg (872 m above sea level), down into the Wynental to Menziken station. The municipalities of Reinach, Menziken, Burg, and Pfeffikon LU have merged, with no visible borders. Around 15,000 people live in the upper Wynental.

The path leads briefly southward from the Stierenberg summit over Lucerne territory down to the hamlet of Vorder Stierenberg. Then the route turns left towards the east and leads down via Waldegg into the village of Menziken. To the south, alongside the Alpine panorama, one can see the tower of the Landessender Beromünster (1931–2008), which is now a protected monument. Menziken, with its 6,500 inhabitants, is the southernmost village in the Wynental. Until 1992, the village was served by the SBB line Beinwil am See–Beromünster; since then, buses have operated.
