The path there is clearly visible. It goes down to the right. But one wonders what this path means. You have to know beforehand that it leads to the fire pit.

The Chemmiflue is a 701-meter-high peak on the long ridge of the Lingenberg. The trail to it is very exciting and technically challenging from both sides, but worthwhile in every season. The view into the Laufental valley is magnificent.

The Welschgätterli is a mountain pass between Montsevelier in the canton of Jura and Erschwil in the canton of Solothurn. Its summit is at an altitude of 810 meters above sea level, directly on the border between the two cantons. A yellow-marked hiking trail leads over the pass, connecting the two villages. You can also hike past the Welschgätterli on the Chemin du Val Terbi, which takes you on a circular route over the heights around Montsevelier. From the summit of the pass, the hike to Montsevelier takes about half an hour and to Erschwil around 40 minutes.
