It is no secret that the Eulengrat offers a rewarding plaisir climbing route. Also easily accessible by public transport and with a wonderful view over the Swiss Plateau to the Alps, this trip is definitely recommended. However, if you are not familiar with the area above Solothurn, you should better inform yourself about the approach than we did... Unless you want to visit a small private hut.
