Old Wooden Bridge, Olten

Highlight • Bridge

There are a lot of these historic wooden bridges in Switzerland. However, each one has its own charm.

The winding, beautiful old town lies on the banks of the Aare, where an old wooden bridge connects the two sides. In the center is the city tower, which can be seen from afar and is 42 meters high. The tower, which is now free, was once part of the town church of St. Martin, but it was demolished in 1844.

Capuchin Monastery Olten

Highlight • Religious Site

One of the few saints who is also highly valued outside of Christianity is San Francesco, known in the German-speaking world as Francis of Assisi. Francis was born in Assisi in 1181/82 and died in 1226. In his youth as the son of wealthy parents he was a bon vivant, but later he turned to Christ. In the half-ruined little church of San Damiano, on the hillside outside the city walls of Assisi, he was praying one day and heard the voice of Christ coming down from the cross, urging him to “rebuild his church”. At first he took this request literally and restored the church building, later he came to realize that this is primarily about the church as the community of believers.
Many people joined him, and the Order of the Friars Minor of Francis of Assisi was born. Today in the broad Franciscan religious family there are three male branches: the Franciscans, the Minorites and the Capuchins; and two females: the Franciscans and the Poor Clares.
His burial church in Assisi, the Basilica of San Francesco, which did not even exist during Francis' lifetime, is nevertheless one of the great "original shrines" of the Franciscan religious family. It can be found here as a hiking highlight under this link: komoot.de/highlight/138624
