Great 360° panorama from the summet of the Eggflue on the Blauen ridge. The cantons of Basel-Landschaft and Basel-Stadt lie at your feet, and the Jura foothills rise out of the landscape.

The Karlisberg offers a wonderful view. However, you have to walk a few meters towards the ridge so that you can enjoy it. The Karlisberg is on the Fringeli-Retemberg route and is just a “passage point” when biking. But the short stop is worth it.
