View of the Dreiländereck and Rhine Knee near Basel

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a fantastic view of the border triangle at the Rhine knee near Basel. Be careful with children: there is no fall protection on the rock face.

The Blauepass is a stunning pass that offers breathtaking views of the Bernese Alps, where peaks and unspoiled nature stretch as far as the eye can see. The area also has historical significance, as the Blauepass was once an important route for trade and travel across the Alps. On a clear day, you can even see Lake Thun in the distance.

The house specialty: fresh cream cakes - a poem. Overall, excellent food, very nice ambience on the terrace and in the house and fast service.

Cave and rock formations in Chälengrabenschlucht

Highlight • Cave

Great gorge just outside Basel with a lovely fireplace. In midsummer, when the temperatures in the city are hot, this detour into the cool gorge is particularly worthwhile. Very interesting for children, as it is only a 10-minute walk from the car park.
