ブレッツヴィルの峠・トップ18

Great mountain stage to the Chilzimmersattel past the Schönthal monastery in picturesque landscape

breathtaking landscapes

The Welschgätterli is a mountain pass between Montsevelier in the canton of Jura and Erschwil in the canton of Solothurn. Its summit is at an altitude of 810 meters above sea level, directly on the border between the two cantons. A yellow-marked hiking trail leads over the pass, connecting the two villages. You can also hike past the Welschgätterli on the Chemin du Val Terbi, which takes you on a circular route over the heights around Montsevelier. From the summit of the pass, the hike to Montsevelier takes about half an hour and to Erschwil around 40 minutes.

Beautiful rest area with panorama

The climb from Hägendorf to Langenbruck over the Teufelsschlucht is a highlight in itself, and the further climb to the Chilchzimmersattel is the masterpiece. Good road surface, but gradients of up to 15% make the wonderful views hard-earned!

Welschgätterli, a "to-do" in the region! 😍

Coming from Langenbruck, it is only a small pass, but with a magnificent view down to Mümliswil. In the opposite direction, you climb a few meters in altitude, but Langenbruck itself is hidden behind a small forest and down the valley towards Holderbank / Balsthal. You can rest a little off the road on a bench under two trees (also with the best view down to Mümliswil)

The weather was very nice and very warm on both sides...😉
