The Glögglifels is a striking rock formation above Laufen (BL) in the Jura Mountains. It lies on the hiking trail towards the Blauenpass and offers a beautiful view into the Birs Valley. The name likely derives from its bell-like shape or a former bell-ringing site.

The Glögglifels is a striking rock formation above Zwingen in the Laufental valley. It offers a beautiful view over the Birstal valley and is a popular viewpoint for short hikes. Legends and the name itself lend the place a mystical character.

You have to earn the beautiful view from the 689 meter high Eggflue, because the approaches are challenging from all sides.

Beautiful view from the viewpoint near the summet of the Eggflue on the Blauen ridge. The cantons of Basel-Landschaft and Basel-Stadt lie at your feet, and the Jura foothills rise out of the landscape.

The Pfeffingen ruins stand on the ridge of the Blauen in Pfeffingen in the canton of Basel-Landschaft in Switzerland. The ruins of the hilltop castle are the remains of the imposing palace and castle, which were once the headquarters of the Counts of Thierstein-Pfeffingen. They are clearly visible from Birseck and Angensteiner-Klus. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruine_Pfeffingen
