Wiesenweg

The departure point for this route is the Badische Bahnhof railway station in Basel. The Lange Erlen wildlife park, the Dammweg along the river and the open landscape in Riehen ensure a varied and unforgettable tour.

The five-kilometre walk begins at the Basel Badischer Bahnhof stop on the eastern edge of the city. Initially, the yellow-waymarked hiking trail leads through the neighbourhoods around the station and past the Zytigs-Stübli. The houses soon give way to open meadows, lending the short, almost level route a surprisingly green character. With no significant ascent, the trail continues towards Spittelmatthof.

Beyond the open countryside, the trail enters the forest. Alternating between open woodland edges and shady sections, it heads eastwards, with the Schliessi lying directly on the route. The Entenweiher, by contrast, is slightly off the trail.

Approaching Riehen, the houses become denser again. The trail rises almost imperceptibly, reaching both its destination and its highest point at around 280 m. Close to the finish stands Riehen village church, marking the historic village centre. After a little over an hour, the walk ends at the Riehen, Dorf stop.
