Art. 694 ZGB
Hat ein Grundeigentümer keinen genügenden Weg von seinem Grundstück auf eine öffentliche Strasse, so kann er beanspruchen, dass ihm die Nachbarn gegen volle Entschädigung einen Notweg einräumen.
Der Anspruch richtet sich in erster Linie gegen den Nachbarn, dem die Gewährung des Notweges der früheren Eigentums- und Wegeverhältnisse wegen am ehesten zugemutet werden darf, und im weitern gegen denjenigen, für den der Notweg am wenigsten schädlich ist.
Bei der Festsetzung des Notweges ist auf die beidseitigen Interessen Rücksicht zu nehmen.
