Verenaschlucht and Hermitage

Highlight • Gorge

A beautiful hike and not too strenuous. While it's still pleasant here in the gorge in summer, it's worth going a little off-season, when it's much quieter.

The beautiful Waldegg Castle was built at the end of the 17th century. Back then, it served as the summer residence of the mayor, Johann Viktor I von Besenval. Today, the castle is a kind of "living museum." You can visit the exhibition there from April to October.

Aare River at Emmenspitz, Solothurn

Highlight • River

It's really amazing that I'm supposed to be a pioneer here, since I've only been to Solothurn once in my life and I've walked this beautiful tour there. It's a pity that apparently no local Komoot user who is really experienced in the area ever came up with the idea.

View of the Aare River

Highlight • Viewpoint

In Solothurn, on the banks of the Aare, one must stop to admire the view of the Aare flowing gracefully past the "most beautiful baroque city in Switzerland", framed by charming historic buildings and the Jura Mountains in the distance. This picturesque location offers a peaceful setting for a stroll on the river or a relaxing break to watch the boats drift by.
