View from the Röti over the Weissenstein to the Hasenmatt |
The Hasenmatt is a 1444 m above sea level. M. high mountain peak in the Swiss Jura . It is located around 8 km northwest of the city of Solothurn on the municipality of Selzach and forms the highest elevation in the canton of Solothurn .
The Hasenmatt is part of the white stone chain , the southernmost Jura chain steeply against the Swiss plateau slopes down. In the north, the Hasenmatt is bounded by the valley of the Bantlibach , which drains via Gänsbrunnen to the Birs . To the west the ridge continues in the Stallflue ( 1409 m above sea level ) and the Wandflue ( 1399 m above sea level ), to the east in the Gitziflue ( 1325 m above sea level ) and the Geissflue .
geology
In structural and geological terms, the Hasenmatt forms an anticline of the Jura folds . The apex area of this anticline was broken open at weak points by erosion and a large part was removed. As a result, the underlying, softer marl of the Effinger strata and partly the main roe stone from the middle Jurassic period ( Dogger ) came to light. The Hasenmatt forms the southern leg of the anticline and is made up of competent layers of rock from the Sequan and Kimmeridge limestone (upper Malm ).
tourism
The steep flanks of the Hasenmatt are covered with dense beech and fir forests, only the summit area is covered by a Jura pasture. On a clear day, the Hasenmatt offers a splendid alpine panorama that extends from Mont Blanc to Säntis . The mountain is considered a beautiful vantage point and local recreation destination for the Solothurn region. A road leads to the summit area, where there is a take-off point for paragliders .
The ascent is from Lommiswil via Schauenburg or Althüsli in 3–4 hours of walking. From the Weissenstein ( 1294 m above sea level ) the Hasenmatt can be easily reached in 2 hours of walking. The Weissenstein Planet Trail runs over the Hasenmatt and leads from the Kurhaus Weissenstein to Grenchenberg .
