Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is accessible with public transport.

Birsfelden Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Structure

The Birsfelden power plant is a Swiss public limited company based in Birsfelden in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. The purpose of the company is to use the hydroelectric power of the Rhine through the construction and operation of the Birsfelden power station. The low-pressure run-of-river power plant delivers an average output of around 100 MW.

Beautiful view over the Rhine to Basel and the power plant with the turbines.

The construction of the power plant opened up the Rhine above Basel for large-scale shipping and enabled the construction of the port facilities in Muttenz and Birsfelden. Initially, one lock was sufficient to regulate shipping traffic. In 1979, as demand increased, the second lock basin was inaugurated. 11,000 locks now take place each year, each lasting around 20 minutes.

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.

Eptingen to Belchenflue Ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Unfortunately, a bunch of motorcyclists at the weekend - but beautiful views, pleasant slope mostly and the asphalt is quite good.

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
