The route was described as difficult, beautiful to the Weissenstein station, then the hustle and bustle and stony path - stupid for Laila

I went on a circular hike in the canton of Solothurn. My starting point for this tour was Balmberg, from where I began my hike towards Weissenstein.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel our planned hike over the Pragel Pass today due to the weather.

So we decided to change the route to Weissenstein.

We started on Balmberg, climbed via Balmfluechöpfli to Röti, and then returned to Balmberg via Weissenstein.

Of course, we didn't stop for a bite to eat at the Sennenhaus mountain restaurant.

With sturdy shoes and if you have …
