A day tour of culture and nature in the Solothurn Jura
In order to bring the three attractive castles in the Thal - Alt-Falkenstein, Alt-Bechburg and Neu-Falkenstein - closer to a hiking public, the Falkenstein Castle Association has put together a hiking route that connects the three monuments on a day trip.
The trail leads from Alt-Falkenstein at medium altitude along the rye mountain range to Tiefmatt above Oberbuchsiten, then via Schlosshöchi to Alt-Bechburg, through Holderbank to Römerstrasse and along part of the wooden path to the ruins of Neu-Falkenstein. Existing hiking trails are mostly used. The route can also be followed in the opposite direction.
