The panorama from the Hasenmatt is sensationally beautiful. You can see over Lake Biel and Lake Neuchâtel as far as the Chasseral and have an absolutely fantastic view of the Alps. The Schreckhorn is particularly easy to see.

Since I left early, the two snow-covered northern ascents on the Juragrat were still icy. As a precaution, I chose a different route than the planned one.

Despite Easter Monday, surprisingly few people were out and about. Even the various parking lots were empty. Only down in Solothurn were all the tables in the many bars along the Aare occupied.@
