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
