ノイエンドルフのおすすめツーリングルート

ここはきれいです、とてもとてもきれいです

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.

This fountain located on the cycleway leading through the village has freshwater located in the shade and there are several other small shops to load up on snacks and food.

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 artwork at the Ruppoldingen river power plant is called Energeia, "active force," and was created in 2000 by artist Paul Gugelmann from Gretzenbach. Paul Guggelmann, who died in 2022, was a Swiss artist who became known primarily for his "poetic machines." A large portion of these machines are owned by a foundation and can be seen at the Paul Gugelmann Museum in Schönenwerd. Gugelmann also created several mobile sculptures, mostly commissioned works, which can be seen in public spaces at various locations in Switzerland.

Fantastic route in the Jura...

The Aare is canalized here, making its course even more peaceful. A bridge allows you to admire the river in its entire width.

We enjoyed a short break with a coffee at the Restaurant zum Bären. A pretty town!
