The pass appears unspectacular, but those who take the time for a short break can admire the southern Jura mountain ranges and the gentle hills to the north through the hedge.

Unlike the Blochmont, which crosses the same ridge just a little further on, this road from Wolschwiller is considerably more challenging. After a gentle start, the route climbs relatively steeply through the narrow valley. A stream flows to the right, while beautiful rock formations are often visible to the left. At the top, near the unmistakable 'Lange Matte' (Long Meadow), the terrain levels out again, and soon you're at the top.

I can only agree with Mattia: it's a short stretch of road through fields, but otherwise completely unspectacular, not even worth a tip...

One of the few 'classic' mountain passes (🤣) near Basel. As Koblinator wrote: Thanks to the gentle gradient, it's a pleasant ride that doesn't significantly impact your average speed.

Biederthal is often reached by car from Basel / the Birstal valley, but this point here is nothing special in itself.

The wooden observation tower was built in 2008. Forty steps lead to the 8-meter-high viewing platform. It offers excellent panoramic views of the surrounding hills and, on clear days, as far as the Vosges Mountains.

The new church was built in the center of the village between 1958 and 1960, designed by Pierre Dumas. It features beautiful stained-glass windows.

For the most part of the cycleway from Delémont to Laufen, the surfaces are usually very good and smooth asphalt as the route changes between riding on the main highway and on a separate cycling route paralleling the railroad tracks.
