The Teufelhof Basel is a hotel in Basel's old town in two historic buildings at Leonhardsgraben 47-49. Parts of the building complex (Leonhardgraben 47) and the cellar (archaeological monument) are listed in the canton of Basel-Stadt's inventory of monuments. The idea behind the operation is to operate independent art and culture as part of a "self-subsidization" of the cultural operation through a parallel hotel and restaurant operation. Due to objections, the permit had to be obtained before the Swiss Federal Court before the opening. After this six-and-a-half-year waiting period, the hotel opened on April 28, 1989. The Teufelhof Basel now employs 70 people. The hotel consists of two buildings, the art hotel and the gallery hotel. The art hotel has eight rooms and one suite, all of which are designed as habitable works of art. The gallery hotel has 20 rooms and four junior suites and is also used as an exhibition space. Nine art rooms were designed by various artists as experiential spatial art. The artists are free to paint directly on the walls or work with materials in the room. The Teufelhof also regularly supports artists with exhibitions or projects of various kinds. The cultural operations include a theater with cabaret performances and satirical programs. The promotion of regional individual artists and groups - from accompanying rehearsals in the in-house theater to premieres in the Teufelhof - also plays an important role in the program planning. The theater is financed by the Teufelhof Basel, but since 2002 has also received a contribution from the two cantons of Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft. In addition to the cultural operations in the sense of the theater and the art hotel, the house also houses two restaurants, the gourmet restaurant "Bel Etage" and the restaurant "Atelier". The house also houses a coffee bar, a gallery hotel with changing exhibitions that is offered as a free platform for the artists, a wine shop "falstaff" and a small archaeological museum, embedded in the historic Basel city walls from the 11th and 13th centuries.

The Ermitage is a large and lovingly designed green area from 1785, with three idyllic ponds, several romantic grottos, historical buildings, pretty walking paths between the shore and the edge of the forest and, on top of it all, the castle ruins of Bierseck Castle, as the crowning glory of the whole. It is a wonderful place for physical and mental relaxation, but those seeking peace and quiet should visit outside of the holidays or weekends. It is a real visitor magnet. Warning! The grottos can only be reached on foot and via steep stairs. The rest of the garden is mostly wheelchair accessible and suitable for pushchairs. There are no parking spaces directly at the Ermitage! Free entry!

The Hermitage in Arlesheim is a romantic landscape garden based on the English model. It is a place of silence, peace, contemplation, and for some even a place of strength. The meandering, playful paths make you want to discover the various nooks and crannies of the Hermitage. Here you can meet the hermit Brother Klaus or discover small cave entrances. The Hermitage also has a beautifully landscaped pond. The wooden footbridge that leads into the pond invites you to linger. The Hermitage has its charm in every season. It was opened in 1785. There is so much to say and learn about the Hermitage that it is worth taking part in one of the regular tours. Ask the Arlesheim Tourist Office or the "Friends of the Hermitage" association. Towards the end of the 18th century, the largest English garden in Switzerland was created on the Birseck castle hill. English gardens combine the natural landscape with artificial elements that are based on nature. Observation platforms, waterfalls, suspension bridges and hermits' cells were created, which were connected by winding paths. Even in ancient times, the area around the Ermitage was apparently a sacred landscape. Finds in the caves prove that this area was already inhabited in the Stone Age. "The sensitive people who live close to nature must have always noticed the high vibrations at the Ermitage, which is why it can be assumed that the hill with its caves has been the home of wise women and men for thousands of years." And even today, a secret hovers over the landscape. There are intense power spots right next to the grotto complex in the entrance area, at the rock overhang at the carousel square or on the square of the Temple Rustique. These are the power spots whose vibrations help to open the inner eyes. The Ermitage has become a true place of pilgrimage for many who know the importance of such places and appreciate their influence. Source: Pier Hänni, Magical Jura.
