Allschwil forest
The Allschwiler Wald is a forest - and at the same time a local recreation area near the city of Basel . It extends over the Baselland landscape communities Allschwil (approx. 220 hectares) and Binningen (approx. 30 hectares) and is partly under nature protection .
The forest can be divided into the following partial forests:
- Eastern part (Allschwil) to the left of the Dorenbach : Hintere Allmend, Langholz, Meierhag, Spitzwald and Struetallme
- Eastern part (Binningen) to the right of the Dorenbach: Herzogenmatten, Holeeholz and Vordere Allmend
- Middle part along the Mülibach: Chuestelli, Kirschner, Mühlematt, Mülirain and Vogtenhägli
- Western part on the border to Schönenbuch along the Lützelbach: Frischmannshag, Geiser, Im Löli and Mooshag
The Herzogenmatten area is protected as a nature park and is considered an "amphibian spawning area of national importance". The Binninger part also includes a forest path with 12 stations and an adventure tower. At the outlet of the Dorenbach from the forest, the Allschwiler Weiher has been located since 1672 .
