Wasser und Salz
Both, water and salt are vital for us. On our hike from the
outlet of the Ergolz to the Birschöpfli we encounter very important
installations for the exploitation of drinking water
for the Basel area. Moreover, at Schweizerhalle the Swiss
Saltworks obtain salt by leaching from a Muschelkalk layer
about 200m below surface since 1837.
