Balmberg Pass Summit

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Balmberg is particularly notorious for its extremely steep approach from Welschenrohr. There, the asphalt climb climbs approximately 400 meters with gradients of up to 25%. From Günsberg, it's considerably easier – in comparison – but still a real fitness test!

St. Ursus Cathedral (St. Ursen Cathedral), Solothurn

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Ursus Cathedral, Solothurn (also Cathedral of St. Ursus and Victor)
St. Ursus Cathedral (also Cathedral of St. Ursus and Victor) is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Basel in the city of Solothurn, Switzerland.
The early neoclassical church building, dedicated to the martyrs Ursus and Victor, was begun in 1762 by Gaetano Matteo Pisoni of Ascona on a site where two previous buildings had probably stood since the early Middle Ages. It was completed in 1773 by his nephew Paolo Antonio Pisoni. The interior is decorated with stucco by Francesco Pozzi.
The extensive cathedral treasury includes, among other things, the Hornbach Sacramentary, a statue of the Virgin Mary, and a manuscript created around 983 in the Reichenau Monastery.
The 66-meter-high onion dome was occupied for a long time by a tower guard. A drawing by Peter Thumb from 1708 indicates that a second, also unrealized, tower was already under discussion for the previous collegiate church.
The Church of St. Urs and Victor served as the minster of the St. Ursenstift since the Middle Ages and, in its current form, became the episcopal church of the Diocese of Basel, which had relocated to Solothurn, in 1828.

View of the Krummturm, Solothurn

Highlight • Monument

Krummturm Solothurn
The Krummturm is a medieval defensive tower in the city of Solothurn. The exact start of construction is not known, but the tower was completed in 1462/63. Although the name suggests a crooked building, this is not correct. Only the roof appears crooked from most sides. The strange roof shape is the result of the irregular pentagon of the tower's floor plan. On the lowest floor there is a 10-meter-deep dungeon in which criminals were once imprisoned. If historical walls could speak, they would have a lot to tell. This includes the Krummturm legend - a tragic love story between the carpenter and the builder's daughter.

Aare River Promenade in Solothurn

Highlight • Settlement

Historic? But not old-fashioned. Solothurn's old town couldn't be more impressive. Romantic alleys, old cobblestones, a magnificent cathedral, excellent restaurants, and a cool shopping atmosphere that's second to none. Not renovated to death, but preserved as a livable place.
