Tüfleten
A big varied crag with routes to suit all tastes.
The climbing is on typical Basler Jura limestone, steep walls that are smooth and peppered with pockets and edges.
Tüfleten is popular in the winter when it is sheltered and gets a lot sun.
Follow the road from Dornach towards Hochwald. After about 2 km park on the right in a layby with a sign to Alte Hobelstrasse. Room for half a dozen cars. Follow the track for 50 yards or so until it is possible to follow a single trail down to the left which soon leads to some steps and the base of the right hand side of the crag.
