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 …

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.

Chilchzimmersattel Ascent from Langenbruck

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The first part is quite easy, but the second piece will be a bit more exhausting at 10 - 15%. Due to the lack of traffic, the trip is definitely worthwhile
