Weissenstein

The Weissenstein is a mountain near the Swiss city of Solothurn. Its height is 1284 metres[?]. There are an aerial passenger line[?] and a narrow road leading from the village of Oberdorf[?] to the spa hotel on top of the mountain. A tunnel pertaining to the railway line Solothurn-Moutier[?] leading from Oberdorf[?] to Gänsbrunnen[?] on the other side of the mountain was opened in 1908. The aerial passenger line is crossing the railway track in front of the tunnel portal at Oberdorf, which is the only setting of this kind in Switzerland.
