An absolute highlight that the Jura has to offer. A magnificent route!

The Binzberg is know by most of the local cyclists in and around the Cantons of Bern, Solothurn, Jura and Basel. The asphalt is not in great condition with a lot of potholes here and there, the worse part is on the side of Court which is in horrible condition. The climb from the Welschenrohr side is steep with an average of 10%, with some places having 16%. Once to the top of the climb there is the restaurant Binzberg which provides a good menu and drinks.

The route between Moutier and Delémont is a beautiful route, with mainly decent asphalted surface but there are some places near the industrial areas where the asphalt is a bit rough but overall good a surface. Geological speaking it offers a lot of unusual rock formations creating nice backgrounds for photos. The route and following the River Birse which flows all the way to Basel.

This climb from Balsthal side leads up to some of very nice climbs, even one of the steepest asphalted climbs in Switezrland. The first climb is direct to Gänsbrunnen and it is a mild 3-5% climb on excellent asphalted surfaces and for the most part with dotted lines to separate them from traffic. It depends on what time of day as traffic can range from zero to medium. There is a chance to stop halfway up at the village of Welschenrohr which has several cafés near the Raiffeisenbank. It also leads to several other climbs, one of Switzerland’s steepest asphalted climbs, Balmberg with up to 25% grade as well as another, just as challenging climb Weissenstein.

The Romanesque collegiate church from the 11th century was rebuilt in the 19th century and restored in 1956. The architect Charles Kleiber from Moutier managed to restore the collegiate church to its original Romanesque style. It is a listed building. In addition to the stained glass windows by Coghuf in the choir, the side aisles were decorated with stained glass windows by Yves Voirol in 2002. (Source: https://jura-vitraux.ch/)

Imposing grotto and at the same time a place of pilgrimage. Here you should switch from the hiking trail near the bridge to the road and pause for a moment and enjoy the gentle coolness and refresh yourself with the water from the Karlsquelle (which is said to have healing powers). A small karst spring arises inside the cave. The water flows as a trickle from a stalagmite into a shallow basin. There is a crucifix under the entrance arch of the grotto, dedicated to Saint Columba of Sens, a 3rd century martyr. The place has been the destination of a pilgrimage on August 15th since the 13th century. The spring water is said to have miraculous healing powers.
