August 27, 2025, Neu-Falkenstein Castle Ruins

Neu-Falkenstein Castle is one of the most beautiful and largest ruins in the canton of Solothurn. The climb to the castle is rewarded with a wonderful view over the Balstahl Gorge, especially if you climb the keep.

Luckily, there's this bike path, so you don't have to ride on the busy road. Tip: Coming from Winznau, you have to climb up to the road at the end. Downshift, downshift

Despite its name, it is believed that the castle is older than Alt-Falkenstein Castle, located further down the valley on the other side. It was the seat of the Swiss noble Falkenstein family.

A challenging pass in the Tafeljura, the climb is made up of a small road with a maximum gradient of 15% and little traffic. The scenery is very scenic, with magnificent panoramas along the way.
