Belchenflue Summit

Highlight (Segment) • Summit

A beautiful and striking viewpoint perched atop a rock.
On a clear day, you can enjoy a 360° view from the summit: to the north, the Black Forest and the Vosges Mountains, to the south, the Mittelland and the Alps – in places, as far as Mont Blanc.

Fortification Hauenstein

Highlight • Historical Site

Impressive, you can imagine how the soldiers built these fortifications and performed their duties there in wind, rain and freezing cold. Also knowing that my grandfather helped build it.

The wooded 1041.8m high Lauchflue is a somewhat independent peak in the Upper Basel area. To the north it has a rock face up to 80m high, which gives you a beautiful view of the Ergolz Valley and the Black Forest. To the southeast lies the slightly higher Schällenberg (1064m), which is separated from the Lauchflue by the Lauch saddle (1014m). The Lauchflue is easily accessible via hiking trails (T1), and on the summit there is a military observation facility from the time of the First World War (Fortification Hauenstein). Trivia: The lid of the observation post comes from the boiler of a steam locomotive.

Schönthal Monastery

Highlight • Historical Site

The Schöntal Monastery was founded in 1145 by the Counts of Froburg and handed over to the Benedictine order.
In 1525 Schöntal fell victim to the devastation caused by the rebellious farmers in the area. Soon afterwards, the religious foundation was abolished by the Reformation and the buildings served secular purposes from then on. In 1541 the monastery property passed into the hands of the Basel Citizens' Hospital, where it remained until the 19th century. Fortunately, since the Basler Bürgerspital sold the Schöntal estate in the 19th century, it has remained in the hands of the same family. Within this, the Wackernagel family, there was a division between three Wackernagel siblings a few decades ago.
