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
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German.
By the last riddle, Switzerland's most beautiful baroque town will have you seeing elevens everywhere.

What to expect
The St. Ursen-Kathedrale towers over the first riddles: built in eleven years, with eleven altars, eleven bells, and a staircase of steps in multiples of eleven — Solothurn's lucky number in full baroque glory.
At the Rathaus, you'll untangle a facade where Gothic turrets meet Renaissance staircases — a building that took three centuries to agree with itself.
The Märetplatz brings the old town together beneath the Zytglogge tower, whose astronomical clock has kept Solothurn punctual since the 16th century.
Around 2 hours of baroque streets and arcaded lanes, with café stops as needed. By the end, you'll be checking every fountain and chapel against the count of eleven.
