The night of the summer solstice in 1984 was dramatic and ominous. Flames shot into the sky above Angenstein Castle, sparks flew through the thick clouds of smoke, and the old castle chapel crackled in the heat. Two precious bells, which had rung out across the valley for centuries, suddenly fell silent. When the smoke cleared, they had vanished. The residents were baffled. No one knew whether thieves had taken advantage of the confusion or whether an ancient curse had completed the work of destruction.

Great view - in good weather you can see individual Alpine peaks

The pass appears unspectacular, but those who take the time for a short break can admire the southern Jura mountain ranges and the gentle hills to the north through the hedge.

I can only agree with Mattia: it's a short stretch of road through fields, but otherwise completely unspectacular, not even worth a tip...

Biederthal is often reached by car from Basel / the Birstal valley, but this point here is nothing special in itself.

There are better places to admire the Birs: It's always quite busy and there's heavy traffic here. Therefore, I recommend: Take a look as you drive by and move on.

The medieval Angenstein Castle belongs to the Canton of Basel-Stadt and is not open to the public. However, the castle can be viewed quite well from the outside, and rooms can be rented for events. The name means 'narrow stone' and comes from the narrow passageway on the site. Throughout its history, it has been burned down, destroyed, and rebuilt many times. The last fire occurred in 1984. The castle also houses rental apartments, and below it lies the Angenstein fortification – a military historical monument of national importance. Bunkers from the Second World War are visible; the painted facades were only added in the 1960s. The Muggenberg bunker complex is visible opposite.
