Oensingen and Oberbuchsiten are not considered trendy hiking destinations. Nevertheless, they offer themselves as start and finish points for a lovely spring hike that offers everything you could wish for: good public transport connections, a sturdy castle, inns, wide views, spring awakening – off you go into the Solothurn Jura!

    Sehr schöne Wanderung mit Fernsicht ... wenn es etwas klarer ist als heute! Ich habe bei der Wirtschaft "Zur Alp" begonnen, weil dort genügend Parkplätze sind (da wo der Beginn der Wanderung markiert ist, gibt es überhaupt keine Parkplätze!). Dann bin ich in der anderen Richtung gegangen, also entgegen des Uhrzeigersinns, dies aus Rücksicht auf die Gelenke meiner Frau (sehr steil aufwärts und nicht abwärts)

    Habe den umgekehrten Weg gewählt. Schöne Landschaft, tolle Aussicht. Jedoch sehr starker Anstieg nach Schwengimatt.
