イティンゲンの絶景の山頂・トップ14

The observation tower on Schleifenberg is 30 meters high. Those who manage to climb to the top (after paying the entrance fee) enjoy a magnificent view of the Liestal valley and far beyond. At the foot of the tower lies the Turmwirtschaft (Tower Inn). Its hosts are around ten groups of innkeepers who bring the inn to life every Sunday and public holiday throughout the year. They cook and serve for their guests out of sheer joy in working together.

Impressive viewing point. Former tank turret - part of the First World War memorial trail

The wooded 1041.8m high Lauchflue is a somewhat independent peak in the Upper Basel area. To the north it has a rock face up to 80m high, which gives you a beautiful view of the Ergolz Valley and the Black Forest. To the southeast lies the slightly higher Schällenberg (1064m), which is separated from the Lauchflue by the Lauch saddle (1014m). The Lauchflue is easily accessible via hiking trails (T1), and on the summit there is a military observation facility from the time of the First World War (Fortification Hauenstein). Trivia: The lid of the observation post comes from the boiler of a steam locomotive. https://www.hikr.org/wiki/post10006.html

The Schleifenberg Tower is an observation tower in the municipality of Liestal in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. The current steel framework tower was built in 1900 by the Liestal Transport and Beautification Association to replace the previous wooden tower (built in 1891). Renovation work was carried out on the tower in 1932, 1985 and 2007. Maintenance is ensured by the Liestal Tourism Association, which is also responsible for the tower restaurant. When a team of hosts opens the tower restaurant, this is traditionally signaled by the flag hoisted on the top of the tower; otherwise no flag is visible. Access is via a turnstile with cash payment by inserting coins. With an entrance fee of CHF 0.50, you can climb 150 steps to the observation platform at a height of 28.5 meters. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleifenbergturm

The climb (fee required) can be used at any time. The restaurant is only open on Sundays and public holidays.

A real highlight after a hard climb, for example from the Waldenburg ruins. The climb is a level T2 with a few trial passages in T3. So be sure to bring good shoes and sufficient fitness.

Since the Wiesenberg is in the forest, this observation tower makes sense. It takes hikers above the treetops and allows a 360-degree panorama. There are panorama boards. The climb is worth it.
