Neu-Falkenstein Castle is one of the most beautiful and largest ruins in the canton of Solothurn. The climb to the castle is rewarded with a wonderful view over the Balstahl Gorge, especially if you climb the keep.

Despite its name, it is believed that the castle is older than Alt-Falkenstein Castle, located further down the valley on the other side. It was the seat of the Swiss noble Falkenstein family.

The signpost is right next to the rest area

This viewpoint is located on the highest point of the Swiss Belchen on the border between Baselland and Solothurn and is best reached on foot. There are no public transport stations nearby. A car park is available 5 minutes on foot below the Chilchzimmersattel. From there it is a 15-minute hike to the Belchenfluh. Further information The famous "Belchenflue" viewpoint was used as an observation post in World War I and was blasted into its current form. The Belchensüdstrasse between Ifenthal and the Belchenflue commemorates the troops involved in the construction with numerous coats of arms, which immortalized themselves in the rock after the work was completed.

A beautiful place in the Basel area that you simply have to know ;-)
