always good for a good cool Schlagg

The Baslerweier is an artificial lake that served as a drinking water supply for Basel for 70 years from 1870. Today it belongs to the canton of Solothurn and is a nature reserve. A true idyll!

Ideal place to watch birds and enjoy nature.

The Baslerweiher (also Basler Weiher or Baslerweier) is a small lake in the municipality of Seewen in the Swiss canton of Solothurn. It is located in the Jura, has an average water level of 560 m above sea level and an area of approx. 1.7 ha. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baslerweiher

The "valley" is about 100m deep and has a size of about 72 hectares. Because of its steep, wooded flanks, the valley in the Tafeljura is also known as the small "Grand Canyon" of the Baselbiet. Nature lovers in particular get their money's worth in the "valley", because in addition to the natural vegetation, the many waterfalls and beautiful ponds, the nature reserve is home to many rare animals and plants of the region. It is the largest pond complex in the canton of Baselland and is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. https://www.baselland-tourismus.ch/poi/naturschutzgebiet-talweiher

Between the oak grove and Wildenstein Castle, the castle pond lies somewhat hidden and inaccessible behind a dense thicket. It's an idyllic spot that deserves protection. There's no path to its shore, and that's a good thing, because countless animal species make their home here and appreciate being left in peace. And let's be honest. Would we really like it if every Tom, Dick, and Harry descended on us uninvited, made a lot of noise, and perhaps even left behind a mess? At least there's this: For hikers and walkers, there are two lovely park benches right by the path by the pond, inviting you to linger.

A princess pond through and through. If you are very quiet, you can hear the lovely ladies laughing ;-)

Beautiful castle pond with various aquatic plants and animals, clearly visible from the path. Part of the nature reserve.
