From Holderbank over the Roggenschnarz to Egerkingen.

From the village center of Holderbank (post bus stop), head towards Roggen. Here you have a magnificent view of Balsthal and the Thal valley! On the Hauensteinmatt plateau, we come to striking beech trees and marvel at the "Baum power station" Further east and then northwards, we reach the toothwort beech forest and then the Roggenschnarz, the highest point of the hike. Now down the steps towards Tiefmatt and over the ridge with various inviting viewpoints to Schlosshöchi with a view of Alt-Bechburg Castle. This is followed by the descent to the "Blüemlismatt" restaurant with its beautiful terrace and tempting refreshments. Continue along the forest road and the ridge to the "Jakobsleiter" in the direction of Flüeloch. From here, join the nature trail "Jakobsleiter-Rinderweg". From the northern edge of Egerkingen, head straight to the railroad station.
The trail is signposted throughout.

The fascination of the Solothurn forest walks lies in the diversity of forest plant communities that can be found along the way. The respective microclimate, the slope, the altitude, the soil characteristics, but also the shaping interventions by human hands characterize the landscape on a small and large scale. As a result, the surroundings and thus the impressions often change suddenly and surprisingly as you walk.
