A very beautiful hike and pleasantly cool. But beware: the post bus only runs from Hinterer Brandberg on weekends.

The Devil's Kitchen in the Thal Nature Park in the Solothurn Jura is a fascinating natural spectacle. Erosion and water flowing over thousands of years have created deep gorges in the limestone. This place is particularly popular with hikers and nature lovers. Marvel at the impressive rock formations and enjoy the untouched beauty of nature.

Wild, narrow and green, the Wolfsschlucht in the Thal Nature Park in the Solothurn Jura is an adventure for the whole family. Rock walls up to 100 meters high, some of them overhanging, line the gorge. Even in summer it is pleasantly cool and shady. The path leads past caves and washouts. There are several fire pits where you can fortify yourself with a picnic. The entrance is directly at the Herbetswil Wolfsschlucht bus stop. Parking is available in the village center of Herbetswil.

A beautiful little side road leads along the narrow Tüfelsschlucht up to Bärenwil. The narrow street makes it difficult for cars to cross and there is correspondingly less traffic. The road itself leads along the side of the gorge, so you can't see much of the gorge further down. The gorge is also recommended, but only suitable for good shoes, so the cyclist stays on the road and enjoys the equally beautiful nature from above.
