ティーエルシュタインの峠・トップ6

The very quiet pass from Beinwil to Montsevelier is one of the few options for crossing the hills of the Laufental valley towards Delémont if you want to avoid the busy, flat road along the Birs river. The alternative route is via the Passwang and Scheltenpass. The only drawbacks are a short, rough section of gravel at the very top and a few inexperienced farm dogs (be careful at Ober Bös and Le Greierlet), but otherwise it's a very pleasant little Jura mountain pass road.

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.

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

The view into the Guldental is great.

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

A pass that surprised me! I struggled to get into the rhythm at first (pretty flat but some really dry ramps!) and then some steep switchbacks in full sun! There is a fountain at the Scheltenmühle (visit 6/23)

Low-traffic side street, nice to drive
