Basel Rundtour

Basel has plenty of attractive mountain bike trails close to the city - Chrischona, Gempen and Blauen are just a few of them. The Basel Rundtour combines these highlights into what is probably the most attractive city tour that Basel has to offer - provided you are in good shape.

Description

From Basel main station, follow the cycle paths to Kleinbasel, pass Badischer Bahnhof and continue along the cycle route to Riehen. Now take the steep gravel path up to St. Chrischona, where you can see the transmitter antenna from afar. There is a special path for mountain bikers back to Basel here, but on the circular tour you ride over the Landesgranze, then immediately turn left and head onto an old single trail that leads directly to the former Wyhlen monastery. You soon reach an official cycle path again, which you follow eastwards and cross the Rhine at the power station to Augst. Now you cycle through the town of Pratteln, past the Adlerhof, past the Hotel Bad Schauenburg and finally reach the outskirts of Gempen. This is followed by a crisp singletrail descent to Aesch, with a short ascent on the main road in between. After Aesch, you climb up through the single-family house district of Pfeffingen to the castle, then roll along country and gravel roads to the Blatte Pass and climb up to the Blauens mountain ridge. Follow this to the Challpass. Here you change to the ridge at Galgenfelsen, where a first-class descent leads down to the castle. Now head through the forest to the north of Metzerlen and Mariastein to the Landkronberg, and after a steep descent on the Grenzwächterweg trail you reach Leymen. Switch to the other side of the Leimental valley and follow this ridge to Binningen, including some wonderful singletrail sections. It's now not far back to Basel train station.

Oftringen - Basel (Muttenz) Mai 2021
Die Tour braucht ab Trimbach bis auf die Belchenflue etwas Körner. Die landschafliche Aussicht ist aber sehr schön!
Die Strecke weiter nach Oberdorf ist abwechslungreich und mit einem sehr schönen Singeltrail bespickt. (Video)
Ab Oberdorf ist mancher Teerbelag unter den Räder. Das Gempenplateau ist ein flacher Singeltrail.
Auf der Schartenfue (Gempenturm) schlängel sich verschiedene angelegte Trails bis vor Muttent runter.
Fazit: Trimbach bis Oberdorf intressante schöne Tour, zum wiederholen.
Oberdorf nach Muttenz im Frühling in der Blütenzeit landschaftlich schön.
Auf meinem Video ein paar Eindrücke..........

Sehr schöne Bike-Tour mit vielen kleinen bissigen Anstiegen, Sehenswert sind zudem die 2 Ruinen Schloss Pfeffingen und
Burg-Landskron.... Auch hatt es zwei 3 schöne Singeltrails, wichtiger aber ist die Kondition als die Biketechnik... Zum Abschluss der Tour kann man noch den Swisscomturm auf dem St. Chrischona bestaunen... Alles in allem eine schöne Tages-Bike-Tour!!
