From the point of view of bikers, the Bürenfluh is one of the most popular places in the Basle region. The attraction for them is a single trail nearly 3 km long. Difficult at the bottom, but never dangerous, the trail winds through the wood. The nearby Schartenfluh with its numerous trails and viewing tower make this a perfect area for biking. The Bürenfluh loop begins gently on the stretch from Liestal to Lupsingen. The first mountain you come to is the Chleckenberg. The route goes down to Büren and then back up to the Bürenfluh. The crowning glory of the tour is the first-rate downhill section from the Schartenfluh into the Röserental, and then back to Liestal.
