Picturesque Jura landscape
Baselland is rich in scenic beauties, impressive nature and cultural treasures. Whether in the footsteps of the Romans, during a boat trip on the Rhine or on hikes in the Jura, there is much to discover in the Basel region. Baselland in the north-west of Switzerland and just outside the city of Basel borders directly on neighbouring Germany and France and is famous for its nearby Jura landscape with its almost untouched nature. This is why the Basel area with its gentle, wooded hills is particularly appreciated by bike and hiking enthusiasts.

Numerous castles and palaces line the more than 1000 km of hiking trails in the region. A visit to Liestal, the capital of the Baselbiet, with its picturesque old town is also worthwhile.
