This is a wonderful section for cycling. The narrow road is rather little used and "meanders" through the typically rolling Dinkelberg landscape with a small-scale mosaic of fields, meadows, and small woods. At the top, you can decide whether to go downhill via Kürnberg to Schopfheim or a little further uphill towards Raitbach or Gersbach - everything is recommendable.

The "Obere Tor" (also called Törli) is the landmark of Liestal and the rest of the medieval city fortification. The substructure was built in the first half of the 13th century, the subsequently added barbican had to make way in 1879 for traffic reasons. The tower has probably been painted since 1498/99, the current paintings are by local painter Otto Plattner from the years 1949/50 and show on the inside the Rütli oath and St. George the dragon slayer, on the outside Chronos and a warrior with a Swiss banner.
