Geographical Location

Gänsbrunnen belongs to the municipality of Welschenrohr-Gänsbrunnen in the Thal District of the Canton of Solothurn, Switzerland. The village lies approximately 731 metres above sea level and is located 8 km northwest of Solothurn as the crow flies.

Landscape and Waterways

The Gänsbrunnen basin is part of a strongly relief-dominated section of the Solothurn Jura. This is where the Bantlibach and Rüschbach meet. The resulting river, La Raus, flows northwest through the Gänsbrunnen Gorge to the Birs.

The surrounding region of Gänsbrunnen includes Ruchen, Le Châtillon, Cras au Sauvage and Spitzenflüeli. The geographical setting therefore extends beyond the immediate settlement basin into the Jura landscape, characterised by pronounced relief.
