Bettingen

Bettingen combines the calm of a farming settlement with the immediacy of an international border, reflecting its position on the St. Chrischona heights above the Rhine valley. This small Basel-City municipality lies east of Basel, close to Germany and the built-up districts of Riehen. Fields, orchards and wooded slopes give it a markedly different rhythm from the city centre. St. Chrischona, a historic pilgrimage site with its church, is a defining local landmark, while the St. Chrischona communications tower is another familiar feature of the ridge. Paths around the settlement link the high ground with the wider Basel borderland. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Bettingen and the Basel region.
