    Die kath. Kirche von Therwil liegt auf dem Weg und sollte nicht ausgespart werden. Pilgerstempel liegt in der Kirche😉

    Empfehlenswert um die Stadt auf eigene Faust im Rahmen einer Tagestour zu erkunden. Wir sind ab Basel SBB gestartet und ab Badischen Bahnhof wieder abgereist.

    Sehr schöner Stadtrundgang. Mit Google Maps und Wikipedia parallel haben wir viel interessantes über Basel erfahren. Einstieg in die Runde ist überall möglich. Wir sind von der Messe aus eingestiegen.

    Beau parcours dans l'ensemble, sauf le tronçon de la Schweizerhalle à la bifurcation vers la forêt Hardwald Süd qui s'effectuait le long d'une route à trafic intense, aini que le passage sous le pont des voies ferrées du stade de sankt Jakob.
