The rock formations of the Holzflue, the Klus Lobisei as the entrance to the Guldental with its rock faces and the Neu Falkenstein Castle ruins form an impressive stone ensemble.

Neu-Falkenstein Castle is one of the most beautiful and largest ruins in the canton of Solothurn. The climb to the castle is rewarded with a wonderful view over the Balstahl Gorge, especially if you climb the keep.
