Birsköpfli

Birsköpfli is a recreation area in Basel-Stadt that stretches along the Rhine River with green spaces and pathways. The location combines natural areas with well-developed paths suitable for various outdoor activities throughout the year.

The area developed as a recreational space at the confluence of the Birs and Rhine rivers, a natural meeting point since Basel's early days. Over time, the location evolved into an established recreation area serving the urban community.

The location serves as a gathering spot where local people spend leisure time surrounded by nature. The riverside setting encourages people to pause and enjoy time together in the open air.

The area is easily accessible by public transportation, with several tram and bus lines stopping nearby. Access to the pathways works well for visitors traveling on foot or by bicycle.

A seasonal restaurant called Spatz runs a snack stand at the location offering cold and hot food options. The operator communicates with visitors through a WhatsApp newsletter to share updates.
