Frenke Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

Magical spot in the woods by the Frenke - perfect for a break or a paddle. An arched stone bridge crosses the river here, and the bubbling waters descend a series of small falls.

The "Liestal Törli" (upper gate) is the symbol of Liestal. In the Middle Ages, it secured the southern entrance to the city and closes off Rathausstrasse at the top. The substructure dates from the 13th century, the superstructure with helmet and bell tower was built in 1554.

Angenstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Angenstein Castle is a medieval castle from the 13th century. Angenstein was always of strategic importance as the "outpost" of Basel and for the control of the Jura region. Over the centuries it went into very different hands, even the Swedes had once occupied the castle. It also burned down several times. In 1984 it burned in the castle for the last time. From 1988 to 1991 it was completely renovated and made habitable. The chapel and some social rooms could also be restored. The hall can be rented for weddings.

Baslerweiher

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Baslerweiher is actually artificially created. In the 19th century, the Kleinsee was created as a drinking water reservoir for the city of Basel, 20 kilometers away (and financed by the city, hence the name). It was only in 2008 that the Baslerweiher passed into the possession of the canton of Solothurn and immediately became the largest lake in the canton - knowing some historical facts absolutely does no harm when biking through a beautiful landscape.
Actually a bit grotesque, in the front of the Seetel you blew up the dam to drain the lake and further back you build an artificial lake / pond - even if this is probably a bit different in time.
