ナチュアパークタルの洞窟・トップ8

The Alt Bechburg castle ruins are a worthwhile destination. The view from its walls is truly picturesque, enhancing the already medieval scenery. Several barbecue areas are available within the castle grounds, so barbecue fun is guaranteed. But beware! Entering Alt Bechburg is at your own risk. ⚠️ A sign right at the entrance specifically points this out. And rightly so! As inconspicuous as Alt Bechburg may appear at first glance, there are countless places where there is an acute danger of slipping and falling. The rear part of the complex, in particular, tempts you to explore, but has no safety measures. Particular caution is advised at the so-called "Felsentor" (rock gate). This is a passage through the rear castle wall, followed by a small square landing, from which a steep staircase once led down the rock into the depths. This ledge has no railing. Anyone careless (e.g., trying to take a spectacular photo or curiously peering into the depths) could fall. Weathered and broken steps at this spot also tempt curious explorers of the outer wall at the rear. Parents who want to spend an adventurous time with their children at Bechburg Castle should keep a very close eye on them. Otherwise, Alt Bechburg is a real eye-catcher (with its pitfalls) and a worthwhile destination at any time of year.

Very nice view of the castle ruins and the chapel, where the Mümliswiler Bach has cut its way through the ridge.

The Alt-Falkenstein Castle was probably built around 1100 by the Klus family. Today it houses a local history museum, which is open from April to October. There you can explore an exciting collection of archaeology, weapons, home decor and industrial history from the Thal Nature Park. From the castle you can enjoy a great view.

Distinctive vantage point. I liked this tour: Basel, Gempen, Nunningerberg, Passwang, Balsthal 2023_05_13 https://www.komoot.de/tour/1116583103

Unfortunately I never managed to get the museum open when I was there. Pity

In the Klus to Mümliswil, it is worth taking a look up to the imposing Neu Falkenstein castle ruins.

This castle is in an exceptionally good position to look at the castle from the Blümlismatt (signpost on the ridge).

Worth seeing, very large ruin with several fireplaces. The ascent there is unfortunately not so well maintained (August 21) and leads among other things. through a nettle field.
