Mountain refuge Waldhütte Bei der Eich

Access and land

The approach to Waldhütte Bei der Eich it runs through a relief of half a mountain soft, closer to the forest lomas and the rounded cords of Basilea- countryside than to the classic alpine environment. In the environment of Rünenberg within the Sissach district, this coat is located at 617 meters and fits better in support of hiking days through crest and local heights than as a refuge of great isolation. Even so, weather can change quickly in open areas and in the steps between hills, so it is appropriate not to plan the route by blindly counting on finding here everything necessary.

Reference for linking nearby heights

Its practical interest is to serve as an intermediate point or reference on signposted routes of the area, with natural connections to routes such as Rebenweg , Stockacher - Rickenbacher-Höchi or the axis of Wintersinger-Höchi - Sissacher-Flue . It can also be useful for anyone who wants to move towards near elevations such as Wisenberg a little less than 4 kilometres in a straight line, or Homberg Flue and Hau which help to understand the character of the land: modest summits, viewpoints and links between valleys and the people of the canton. The presence of a fountain at about 1.7 km suggests that water be provided before leaving, especially if the day links several heights or is extended by the network of trails. In this sector, rather than a demanding ascension base, the shelter has a discrete logistical function to divide routes and guard itself in a transitional landscape between forest, rural roads and local crest.
