Farnsberg hill near Ormalingen in the Basel region is home to the ruins of Farnsburg Castle, a once mighty knight's castle dating back to the 14th century. Today, the wooded hill is a popular hiking destination offering sweeping views over the Ergolz Valley. Trails lead to the scenic castle ruins from Buus, Hemmiken, and Ormalingen. On the "summit" above the castle, there are picnic areas and barbecue facilities.

The Castle Linden Tree: A large-leaved linden tree approximately 450 to 500 years old. Its trunk is hollow, held together at a height of about three meters by steel cables. The trunk, which measures over 9 meters in circumference, supports three thick main branches. A plaque screwed to the tree provides further information: According to tradition, the linden tree was planted to commemorate the siege of Farnsburg Castle before the Battle of St. Jakob an der Birs (1444). Its age is uncertain, but dendrochronological analyses have revealed an age of approximately 500 years.

Ruins of a hilltop castle complex used for several millennia. The complex was excavated in 1936 as part of the cantonal labor camp (employment program for the unemployed).
