This easy and educational trail is the ideal hike for a slow Sunday. If you reside near Basel, the drive is only 20 minutes away. With Rapeseed in full bloom during the spring months, the landscape is beautiful.


The 12 stations of the honey trail are designed to educate and engage families about bees as they go. The entire loop can easily be completed in an hour or so, but take your time. Educate yourselves on the bees and their vital importance to the ecosystem and take food for a picnic. This trail is lovingly maintained and makes for the perfect day out!
