Vordere Schmiedenmatt Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

Slightly higher than the large alpine Schmiedenmatt is the restaurant Schmiedenmatt. Eveline and Koni Schön run the restaurant. From the terrace you can enjoy the view over the large alp accompanied with the calming tinkling of the bells of the grazing cows and cattle. Wonderful are the Älplermacronen. Bikers are welcome. Rest day is Monday and Tuesday.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Bättlerchuchi (beggar's kitchen) can be easily reached by bike or by car. The view, as always with a highligt - something special.

Not far from the Restaurtant Alpenblick is the Ankenhubel. Here it has an Alpenspiegel and a suitable Bänkli to linger and philosophize.

Old Roman Road Balsthal

Highlight • Historical Site

From the vernacular, all paths with a certain characteristic (with cart irons) were formerly referred to as the Roman path. Become more cautious today because it is difficult to date street buildings. What is certain is that the pass over the Obere Hauenstein was already intensively used in Roman times. However, it probably only dates back to the years 1711/12 in its visible form. The Plattenweg is therefore classified in the Federal Inventory for Historical Routes as "Historical course with a lot of substance",

December 27, 2025,UHU-Runde rauf & runter🌫☀️🚴‍♀️

...A short, gray-blue-gray loop with beautiful views of the Alps and the sea 🙃. Wintery conditions from Hinteregg to Vordere Schmiedenmatt ❄️⚠️⛸ and spring-like temperatures up to Hintere Schmiedenmatt.

The downhill was, as always at this time of year, a bit chilly, but the long straight stretch from Herbetswil to Balsthal was perfect for warming up 🚴‍♀️💨 - it was …

November 1, 2022,Schmiedenmatt-Bettlerchuchi-Farner Stierenberg-Buchmatt—Schwengimatt mit 3 wunderschönen Aussichtspunkten 🤩

Beautiful bike tour - unfortunately not recorded correctly from the Wannenflueh viewpoint in the meantime 🥴 (from the Wannenfueh to the farm/restaurant Schwengimatt, then first follow the paved road towards Laupersdorf and then the hiking trail signs down to Balsthal). In wet conditions, this trail is rather difficult to drive. Alternatively, you can switch to the forest paths or the …

...Nice walk straight from the fog to the sunbed🥰.

Ankehubel bench with a view of the Alps, sipping tea, enjoying the sun, listening to the wind and watching the waves in the sea. Back to the soup, this time leisurely via Herbetswil-Matzendorf-Laupersdorf-Balsthal and back to Niederbipp via the beautiful high trail - there wasn't enough time for more, but it …
