Balsthal: Gateway to Four Mountain Passes

Highlight • Settlement

Balsthal is a great starting point leading to 4 nice low level passes (Passwang, Schelten, Hauenstein and Binzberg via Gänsbrunnen). The village itself does offer several restaurants from inexpensive bistros to 3 star restaurants as well as several fountains to fill up your water bottles.

Neu-Falkenstein Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Coming from the Upper Hauenstein there is a great view of the rugged Jura rocks on which the castle ruins sit boldly. Since the route is well paved (06/2019) and leads slightly downhill, you can enjoy the view appropriately.

Neu-Falkenstein Castle Ruin

Highlight • Castle

Despite its name, it is believed that the castle is older than Alt-Falkenstein Castle, located further down the valley on the other side. It was the seat of the Swiss noble Falkenstein family.

Oberer Hauenstein

Highlight • Mountain Pass

One of the easiest ways to conquer the Jura from north to south is the Obere Hauenstein with a pass height of 734 meters. From both directions, climbing only very gently, you can easily get to the required height on a well-developed road. When driving north, be careful, especially when it is wet, the tram tracks, which repeatedly cross the street at acute angles from Waldenburg, are very dangerous.

Liestal–Bubendorf Cycle Route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Although it's a bit winding through the town streets, it's much nicer than the parallel, very wide and quite busy country road. The surface is good and suitable for racing bikes.

Hauensteinstraße Ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Even gradient, very easy to ride - beautiful views up into the Mittelland. Unfortunately, there is usually quite heavy traffic.
