The fully south-facing Holzflue with its superb view over the rooftops of Balsthal is one of the most beautiful climbing spots of the Solothurn Jura. Here you'll find beautiful, steep and technical climbing in wonderful, compact limestone. The scent of sun drenched forest gives an ambiance as of southern France. Avoid in high summer!
