A rock with a wide view: This diverse circular hike leads from Balmberg to the rocky ridge of Chamben. Especially beautiful here is the view over the Midlands to the Bernese Alps.
The highlight of this circular hike starting from the Kurhaus Balmberg is the rocky Chamben. It majestically towers over the Hofbergli. The view is at least worth a photo. The path continues via Hintere Schmiedenmatt to the rear Hofbergli. Along the way, the view of the Bernese Alps and the Three Lakes Region is impressive. From Hofbergli, the brave can balance across the first suspension bridge in the canton of Solothurn to Niederwieler Stierenberg. The rope bridge is 50 meters long.
Good to know: The PostBus to Balmberg runs daily throughout the year and can also be rented exclusively for group trips. Various catering options are available along the hike.
Excursion tips in the region: Lama trekking.
Author’s recommendation
At Balmberg, the rope park with various difficulty courses, including a special kids’ course, invites groups and families to fun in the Jura forest.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
