Hiking holidays Jura Crest Trail, Regensberg - Solothurn
Hiking: Jura Crest Trail
The village of Regensberg lies picturesquely on the outermost foothills of the Jura hills. This is where the adventure begins for many long-distance hikers on the Jura-Höhenweg, which leads in a crooked arc to Lake Geneva.The first section is idyllic, but soon Sunday hikers reach their limits - the Lägerngrat is reserved for experienced hikers. Whether sporty or leisurely: Baden attracts with a charming old town and a jump into the Limmat. On to the moated castle in Brugg and up to the next chain of Jura hills. Steady ups and downs characterize your hiking days, which take you past castles, ruins and fortresses to Solothurn. 
Gently uphill through vineyards to the small town of Regensberg and Lägern with wonderful views. After a demanding descent towards Baden you can relax in the town. The initial ascent to Regensberg can optionally be made by bus.
Baden – Brugg
From Baden further to the Gebenstorfer Horn with views of Switzerland’s natural water resources, Brugg on the River Aare and nearby Windisch.
Brugg – Herzberg
After crossing Brugg's old town, the first uphill stretch to the Vier Linden country guesthouse embedded in the Jurapark, and via the forest to the ancient as well as legendary Linner Linde (linden tree). On uphill through shady forests to the Schenkenberg ruins, seen from afar, and on to Staffelegg/Herzberg.
Herzberg – Wisen (SO)
Get to know five passes: Staffelegg, Bänkerjoch, Salhöhe, Schafmatt and lastly the Untere Hauenstein. In between, lots of woodland, many pastures and the rugged Geissfluh vantage point on the border of Baselland.
Wisen (SO) – Balsthal
En route to Belchenfluh, the many buildings and coats of arms are reminders of Swiss defences in two World Wars. Soon follows tiny Bärenwil, on via Tiefmatt to Roggen. Far below, Balsthal greets you with its Neu-Falkenstein castle and paper mill.
A steep climb over the Hellchöpfli past pastures and mountain inns to the Weissenstein near Solothurn. Enjoy the view over the Mittelland to the Alpine peaks from Säntis to Mont Blanc. Take the cable car down to Solothurn and pick up your luggage at the train station.
Tour character
For the Lägerngrat on the first day you need to be surefooted and head from hights. However, you can easily avoid the exposed passages. Otherwise, the tour is easy and good to walk. Challenging are only the last two long stages.
