Εύκολες πεζοπορίες και περίπατοι στη Βασιλεία-Επαρχία

Όπως περιγράφεται παραπάνω, είναι ο άνω καταρράκτης, το "Rünenberger Gießen", όπου το νερό πέφτει από έναν καμπυλωτό βράχο σε βάθος 18 μέτρων και σχηματίζει μια εντυπωσιακή πυραμίδα από ασβεστολιθικό τόφφο, ενώ η ροή διασπάται με ορμή και αφρό ανάλογα με τη στάθμη του νερού. Τον χειμώνα, όταν οι θερμοκρασίες είναι υπό το μηδέν, δημιουργούνται συναρπαστικοί σχηματισμοί παγοκρυστάλλων. Πάνω από τον καταρράκτη βρίσκεται το "Löligumpi", όπου παλαιότερα μπορούσε κανείς να κολυμπήσει. Λίγο πιο κάτω ακολουθεί το Kleine Giessen - επίσης με έναν όμορφο κώνο τόφφου.

The observation tower on Schleifenberg is 30 meters high. Those who manage to climb to the top (after paying the entrance fee) enjoy a magnificent view of the Liestal valley and far beyond. At the foot of the tower lies the Turmwirtschaft (Tower Inn). Its hosts are around ten groups of innkeepers who bring the inn to life every Sunday and public holiday throughout the year. They cook and serve for their guests out of sheer joy in working together.

Ideal starting point for hikes on the ridge towards the southeast, Sissach Gelterkinden, and northwest, Pratteln Augst and to the observation tower.

There you can be one with nature and rock

The concert series at Arlesheim Cathedral, established in 1974, offers four concerts annually. The focus is on performances of sacred music with early music ensembles and organ recitals on the historic Silbermann organ from 1761, which has been beautifully restored in recent years.

Visible from afar, the walled church complex of St. Nicholas towers over Oltingen. St. Nicholas was first documented in 1296, and the current building dates back to the late Gothic period. During renovations in 1956, magnificent frescoes were discovered and beautifully restored. They depict, in particular, stories from the life of the church's patron saint, St. Nicholas of Myra, and the Virgin Mary. The building complex includes the rectory, also Gothic, with an adjoining, smaller ossuary dating from 1517. Adjacent to the north is the rectory barn, built in 1710.

The opening times are apparently in 2025, so plan accordingly or simply enjoy the diversity of the hiking tour

Please note that the hiking trails along the railway line between Grellingen Chessiloch and Duggingen Lätten underpass are partially closed until further notice.
