Balmberg
Fun and frolics for the whole family
Description
Balmberg is a varied and fun place for young and old. The main attraction is the high ropes park. The more intrepid among you can put your courage to the test on nine different courses, all with varying degrees of difficulty. Barbecue spots in the park and a kiosk encourage visitors to stay a while longer. The striking Rötifluh connects Balmberg to the Weissenstein and is the highest point on the Weissenstein trail. The local mountain restaurants will ensure you don’t go hungry. Balmberg is also worth a visit in winter as the sports facilities guarantee fun in the snow for the whole family. Postbuses operate throughout the year between Solothurn main station and Balmberg.
