Gelterkinden is excellent for day trips for swimming, walking or cycling. Popular is the "Walderläbnispfad" as a circular trail that starts at the fairground. Gelterkinden also has an indoor and outdoor swimming pool with indoor slide and sauna, which you can visit all year round. Highlights in the outdoor pool are a beach volleyball field, the 50 m long swimming pool and a spacious, shady sunbathing lawn. The 13th century castle ruins of Scheidegg are located in the south of Gelterkinden, which lies in the Ergolz valley (Baselland) between heavily wooded hills.
