This waterfall above Steinenbrügli is a wonderfully beautiful place. I went there a lot as a child because I lived nearby. The things I experienced there... There's also a small nature reserve with a canal running parallel to the Frenke (that's the name of the stream). There's so much to discover. Below the waterfall, about 50 meters away, there are gravel banks when the water level is low, which invite you to linger and enjoy the peace and quiet...🔆

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.

If you don't know Liestal, you can stop there and stock up on provisions or have a bite to eat in a café. A charming little town.

A mecca for families. Except for the oak grove, which is right behind the barbecue area, there is enough space for kids to let off steam. The fireplace is well equipped and there is plenty of suitable firewood in the nearby forest. It would be desirable to have a warning sign with clear instructions to prevent the over 500-year-old and marked oak grove from being misused as a playground and picnic area. Park rangers actively patrol the area to ensure the protection of the oak grove.

A beautiful rest area with a view of the most beautiful oak grove in Switzerland. Please note; The majestic giants endure it with stoic composure when hikers leave the designated path through the grove - but the rangers do not.
