Die liebliche Aare-Landschaft zwischen Solothurn und Biel wird heute intensiv von der Landwirtschaft und vom Verkehr genutzt. Dennoch: Ein Spaziergang auf dem Aareuferweg lohnt sich immer, sei es wegen der Storchensiedlung in Altreu, den knapp über das Wasser pfeilenden Eisvögeln oder der Rückfahrt mit dem Aareschiff.

A multifaceted hiking tour: It begins in the heart of Solothurn and takes you through outlying areas to the romantic wilderness of a canyon blessed with a chapel and hermitage, and then on a gentle trail along the foot of the Jurassic Mountains to your destination, Grenchen, the watch city.

We board the "Siesta", a semi-catamaran in Solothurn, Switzerland's most beautiful Baroque-style city. On the picturesque cruise to Biel one passes the unique Stork Colony at Altreu, the charming country town of Büren and the Jura mountains. (Cruises mid-May to mi-October).

Solothurn is said to be the most beautiful baroque city in Switzerland. The imposing buildings were constructed in various epochs: ranging from the first half of the 12th century, when the clock tower was built, to 1773, when St. Ursus Cathedral was constructed in baroque and neo-classical style.
