The rocky surroundings and the trees are reflected in the clear water of the small pond. A very nice place to take a deep breath and enjoy nature.

The "valley" is about 100m deep and has a size of about 72 hectares. Because of its steep, wooded flanks, the valley in the Tafeljura is also known as the small "Grand Canyon" of the Baselbiet. Nature lovers in particular get their money's worth in the "valley", because in addition to the natural vegetation, the many waterfalls and beautiful ponds, the nature reserve is home to many rare animals and plants of the region. It is the largest pond complex in the canton of Baselland and is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. https://www.baselland-tourismus.ch/poi/naturschutzgebiet-talweiher

Very nice varied gorge, with some barbecue areas that invite you to linger. Unfortunately a bit crowded on weekends when the weather is nice.

The forest was drained for many years by a dense ditch system. In order to win back the area for the site-typical alternating damp to wet forest communities and the rare animal and plant species that depend on them, the old ditches were closed and new dams were built. The result is a rewetted area in which toads and dragonflies feel very much at home. The beaver has also found ideal conditions here and is happily building dams and cave systems. He fells even the biggest trees. The area is worth visiting at any time of the year.
