ViaSurprise circular route (6 days)

If you embark on a discovery journey through the Solothurn and Baselbieter Jura, you feel the power and beauty of nature and are amazed again and again by the diverse sights. For centuries, important personalities shaped the economic and cultural life – over millennia, the Jura hill ranges created a unique landscape.

Pioneers and world explorers You walk on historic roads built by the Romans or on pilgrim paths taken by believers. When visiting castles, you meet knights, and in the museums you get to know brave pioneers who wrote significant industrial history. You will be surprised how entertaining it is to engage with the countless economic and cultural aspects of this region.

Experience nature Along the way, you encounter small and great wonders as you roam the valleys with alert senses and reach the nearby peaks with their impressive views. You hike through unknown gorges, hear the babbling of a stream, and enjoy the silence of the forests. Or you watch a butterfly dancing in the warm summer breeze. Perhaps, in such moments, you also discover a new side of yourself?

Take your time Why not spend a night in a monastery? Or taste a menu with fresh farm products in a mountain inn? The variety of accommodation options – from simple youth hostels to well-maintained cultural hotels – is vast. On every hiking stage, you have plenty of time to linger and enjoy.
