Tips from the Community
Unlike the Blochmont, which crosses the same ridge just a little further on, this road from Wolschwiller is considerably more challenging. After a gentle start, the route climbs relatively steeply through the narrow valley. A stream flows to the right, while beautiful rock formations are often visible to the left. At the top, near the unmistakable 'Lange Matte' (Long Meadow), the terrain levels out again, and soon you're at the top.

I can only agree with Mattia: it's a short stretch of road through fields, but otherwise completely unspectacular, not even worth a tip...

One of the few 'classic' mountain passes (🤣) near Basel. As Koblinator wrote: Thanks to the gentle gradient, it's a pleasant ride that doesn't significantly impact your average speed.

Biederthal is often reached by car from Basel / the Birstal valley, but this point here is nothing special in itself.

A new relatively short stretch of cycle path from Flüh to Leymen. It runs along the tram line. Together with the cycle path from Biel-Benken to Flüh there is a slightly higher alternative, but without traffic instead of the main road down by the riding school. And the view is more beautiful here anyway...

The current parish church of Oltingue was built between 1827 and 1831 in late classicist style. Striking features include the triangular pediment above the round-arched portal and the Callinet organ from 1843, which is still in use. Together with the presbytery and the former school, the church forms a well-preserved village ensemble from the Louis-Philippe period. The church replaced an older mother church outside the village.

The new church was built in the center of the village between 1958 and 1960, designed by Pierre Dumas. It features beautiful stained-glass windows.
