Solothurn's obsession with the number eleven runs through the city's architecture: the St. Ursen Cathedral has eleven altars, eleven bells, and a staircase of three flights of eleven steps each. The canton was the eleventh to join the Swiss Confederation. About 16,800 residents live in this Kanton Solothurn capital on the Aare, 30 kilometres north of Bern. The baroque Altstadt, largely rebuilt in the eighteenth century, is considered the finest baroque town in Switzerland.
The Solothurner Filmtage (film festival), running since 1966, is Switzerland's most important national film event and programmes Swiss-produced features and documentaries each January. The Naturmuseum Solothurn houses a collection including a 150-million-year-old fossil turtle found locally.
The Verenaschlucht, a narrow gorge north of the town accessible by foot, contains a hermitage chapel still occupied by a resident hermit. The Weissenstein, a Jura ridge accessible by chairlift from Oberdorf, offers views from the Alps to the Vosges. Hotels in Solothurn accommodate companion meetings.
