If the summer has taken some time to arrive, it’s been particularly hot these last days. Our humans are on holiday, and they decided to spend a few days in Solothurn, one of the most beautiful baroque city in Switzerland. See instead an excerpt from their walk in the old town.
Basel Gate :
St. Ursus Cathedral :
The view from the tower of the St. Ursus Cathedral : it’s 66 metres high, and 11 bells are suspended in its bell tower. After climbing 249 steps, you will be rewarded with an extraordinary view of the city and its surroundings.
Clock tower :
Some houses:
Our humans then left the city to go to a place in the region that is called mystical : the Verena gorge and hermitage.
The entrance to the Verena Gorge is about 20 minutes walk from the old town of Solothurn. From there, a route runs along the stream and goes through the forest to the hermitage.
St Verena’s chapel :
St Martin’s chapel :
A hermit still lives there today in a small house.
We were still delighted to see our humans coming home !
Without doubt, you are blessed to live in one of the most extraordinarily beautiful lands on earth … (hello and meow to the two beautiful kitties as well) …
What a beautiful place! I would love to visit Switzerland someday. But for now these lovely photos will do. Thanks for taking us all along on your trip.
Such a beautiful place and I really love the photo with the water view! I’m sure you all had a happy homecoming.
What a wonderful trip out for your humans. Such sights, buildings and vistas. That hermit sure has a wonderful place to live.

Lovely travel pics!. Our locality is not so beautiful, but it does have some good spots. We liked your selfie. We noticed the white patch on the chest. Black cats seem to have those. a lot. Binq (black as midnight) does too.
