「オベレ・トーア」（Törliとも呼ばれる）はリースタルのランドマークであり、中世の都市城壁の遺構です。下部は13世紀前半に建てられ、後に増築されたツヴィンガーは交通上の理由から1879年に取り壊されなければなりませんでした。塔は1498/99年から描かれていると思われ、現在の絵は地元画家オットー・プラットナーによる1949/50年の作品で、内側にはリュトリの誓いと竜殺しの聖ゲオルギウス、外側にはクロノスとスイスの旗を持つ戦士が描かれています。

The night of the summer solstice in 1984 was dramatic and ominous. Flames shot into the sky above Angenstein Castle, sparks flew through the thick clouds of smoke, and the old castle chapel crackled in the heat. Two precious bells, which had rung out across the valley for centuries, suddenly fell silent. When the smoke cleared, they had vanished. The residents were baffled. No one knew whether thieves had taken advantage of the confusion or whether an ancient curse had completed the work of destruction.

Whether the body of water is truly a reservoir or more like an Alsatian carp pond, I cannot and will not judge – the location at the very back of the Lützeltal valley and the beautiful nature all around is wonderful nonetheless.

There are better places to admire the Birs: It's always quite busy and there's heavy traffic here. Therefore, I recommend: Take a look as you drive by and move on.

With the construction of the new railway line between Aesch and Grellingen, the cycle path was also renovated. It is now completely paved. In Grellingen, near the former paper mill, the path connects to the railway line in such a way that crossing the tracks is no longer necessary. A great connection and very safe, much better than the parallel Grellingerstrasse road above.

The medieval Angenstein Castle belongs to the Canton of Basel-Stadt and is not open to the public. However, the castle can be viewed quite well from the outside, and rooms can be rented for events. The name means 'narrow stone' and comes from the narrow passageway on the site. Throughout its history, it has been burned down, destroyed, and rebuilt many times. The last fire occurred in 1984. The castle also houses rental apartments, and below it lies the Angenstein fortification – a military historical monument of national importance. Bunkers from the Second World War are visible; the painted facades were only added in the 1960s. The Muggenberg bunker complex is visible opposite.
