Tips from the Community

May 25, 2026, Liestal City Gate (Törli)

The "Obere Tor" (also called Törli) is the landmark of Liestal and the rest of the medieval city fortification. The substructure was built in the first half of the 13th century, the subsequently added barbican had to make way in 1879 for traffic reasons. The tower has probably been painted since 1498/99, the current paintings are by local painter Otto Plattner from the years 1949/50 and show on the inside the Rütli oath and St. George the dragon slayer, on the outside Chronos and a warrior with a Swiss banner.

There are better places to admire the Birs: It's always quite busy and there's heavy traffic here. Therefore, I recommend: Take a look as you drive by and move on.

A place to stop and enjoy nature. You can also take beautiful photos of the waterfall.

This waterfall above Steinenbrügli is a wonderfully beautiful place. I went there a lot as a child because I lived nearby. The things I experienced there... There's also a small nature reserve with a canal running parallel to the Frenke (that's the name of the stream). There's so much to discover. Below the waterfall, about 50 meters away, there are gravel banks when the water level is low, which invite you to linger and enjoy the peace and quiet...🔆
