Belchenflue, Summit and scenic viewpoint in Jura Mountains, Switzerland
Belchenflue is a 1099-meter summit in the Jura Mountains positioned between Basel-Landschaft and Solothurn cantons. The peak provides wide views across the Bernese Alps, Black Forest, and surrounding valleys.
The mountain pass served as a crossing point between settlements since ancient times. The shared Belchen name at multiple peaks in the region suggests early connections across communities.
The mountain connects the Swiss cantons of Basel-Landschaft and Solothurn through its pass, representing a natural bridge between regional communities.
Multiple marked hiking trails reach the summit from Eptingen, with regular bus services connecting nearby villages. Parking areas are located in the base valleys, and ascents typically take two to three hours on foot.
On clear days, visitors can see mountain ranges several dozen kilometers away in all directions. The distant views stretch across three countries and create a surprising sense of how far you can actually see.
