Solothurn

Solothurn occupies a stretch of the Swiss Plateau and the southern Jura slopes in northwestern Switzerland. The canton ranges from wooded Jura ridges, including the Weissenstein above its capital, to productive lowlands along the Aare River. Solothurn city developed at an important Aare crossing and retains a remarkably coherent baroque centre. The 18th-century Cathedral of St Ursus is its defining monument. Small towns, farmland and industrial communities elsewhere reflect the region’s position between Basel, Bern and Zurich. Rail connections place Solothurn firmly within everyday Swiss travel, while Jura paths lead quickly into higher, forested terrain.
