What many do not know: the Gempenturm has an eventful history behind it and is not just an excursion site. For example, he played a not insignificant role for Switzerland during the Second World War to observe the troop movements of the Germans and French in the border area from here. A ‘Division Gempen’ of the CH Army was stationed on the Gempenturm for this task. Among other things there was a dogfight over Gempen where an American. Bomber was shot down.

View of Gempen Village

Highlight • Viewpoint

Gempen forms the northern tip of the Solothurn district, which extends into the canton of Basel-Landschaft. With the lookout tower it is a popular destination for the whole area. In addition, Gempen impresses with a very well-kept village center, which still shows the traditional and typical characteristics of the towns here in this area.

Gempenstrasse

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Almost like a racetrack developed, very wide track with balanced, moderate slope. Although is due to the rather moderate gradient of 5-7% no really top speed in it, but you have to slow down in the many curves hardly - especially the excessive serpentines are great. However, the motorized colleagues also know that, no matter if two- or four-wheelers, they can be expected accordingly.
