Newly paved cycle path between Grellingen and Dugingen

The Grand Étang de la Réselle is located near Delémont and is an idyllic pond in the middle of the forest. Surrounded by tranquility and nature, it offers a beautiful resting place for hikers. A circular path leads along the water and invites you to linger. Especially on warm days, the shady location provides pleasant coolness. The Étang is a rather unknown destination and therefore pleasantly quiet. In combination with the Vorbourg ruin, a varied hike can be planned.

February 26, 2026, Schloss Angenstein

The night of the summer solstice in 1984 was dramatic and ominous. Flames shot into the sky above Angenstein Castle, sparks flew through the thick clouds of smoke, and the old castle chapel crackled in the heat. Two precious bells, which had rung out across the valley for centuries, suddenly fell silent. When the smoke cleared, they had vanished. The residents were baffled. No one knew whether thieves had taken advantage of the confusion or whether an ancient curse had completed the work of destruction. The report on SRF: https://www.srf.ch/play/tv/schweiz-aktuell/video/mysterioeser-fund?urn=urn:srf:video:f2e42c17-9264-407f-a914-8eb7cd0d9cf4

With the construction of the new railway line between Aesch and Grellingen, the cycle path was also renovated. It is now completely paved. In Grellingen, near the former paper mill, the path connects to the railway line in such a way that crossing the tracks is no longer necessary. A great connection and very safe, much better than the parallel Grellingerstrasse road above.

The medieval Angenstein Castle belongs to the Canton of Basel-Stadt and is not open to the public. However, the castle can be viewed quite well from the outside, and rooms can be rented for events. The name means 'narrow stone' and comes from the narrow passageway on the site. Throughout its history, it has been burned down, destroyed, and rebuilt many times. The last fire occurred in 1984. The castle also houses rental apartments, and below it lies the Angenstein fortification – a military historical monument of national importance. Bunkers from the Second World War are visible; the painted facades were only added in the 1960s. The Muggenberg bunker complex is visible opposite.

Fishing, why not? A bit of a strange location, but entertaining.

A small artificial fish pond. Beautifully situated and just right for a quick rest.
