Highlights

Solothurn is obsessed with the number eleven — eleven churches, eleven fountains, eleven chapels, and a cathedral with eleven altars and eleven bells. This trail lets you count for yourself. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Solothurn on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Climb the steps of the St. Ursen-Kathedrale, the baroque showpiece built to the magic number • Decode the Rathaus, a wild mix of Gothic and Renaissance facades • Cross the Märetplatz with its astronomical clock tower Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size. By the last riddle, Switzerland's most beautiful baroque town will have you seeing elevens everywhere.
