The sea of rocks in the Tüfelschlucht is an impressive natural phenomenon. This collection of large, moss-covered rocks creates a fascinating landscape that invites you to explore. The path through the sea of rocks takes you over and between the rocks, which is a small adventure for hikers. The combination of the imposing rocks and the surrounding forest makes this section of the Tüfelschlucht particularly worth seeing.

The rocky surroundings and the trees are reflected in the clear water of the small pond. A very nice place to take a deep breath and enjoy nature.

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.
