This beautiful circular hike on the Grenchenberg plateau is suitable for everyone: leisure hikers, seniors, and families with children. Mountain restaurants invite you to stop by.
The Grenchenberg is a plateau in the Swiss Jura, west of the Solothurn local mountain Weissenstein. In winter you can go skiing and winter hiking, in summer a beautiful network of hiking trails with numerous route options attracts visitors. For example, this lightly classified circular hike starting from Untergrenchenberg. It is suitable for everyone: leisure hikers, seniors, and families with children. Several restaurants invite you to relax, and numerous fire pits are available for barbecues. Some mountain inns also offer overnight accommodations. The newly restored dry stone walls show traditional craftsmanship, and the Wandfluh viewpoint truly deserves the label spectacular! The view over the Swiss Plateau to the Bernese Alps is wonderful. There is also an observatory on Grenchenberg. During guided tours and the "nights of the open roof," you can learn about constellations and planets.
