St. Ursus Cathedral (St. Ursen Cathedral), Solothurn

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Ursus Cathedral, Solothurn (also Cathedral of St. Ursus and Victor)
St. Ursus Cathedral (also Cathedral of St. Ursus and Victor) is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Basel in the city of Solothurn, Switzerland.
The early neoclassical church building, dedicated to the martyrs Ursus and Victor, was begun in 1762 by Gaetano Matteo Pisoni of Ascona on a site where two previous buildings had probably stood since the early Middle Ages. It was completed in 1773 by his nephew Paolo Antonio Pisoni. The interior is decorated with stucco by Francesco Pozzi.
The extensive cathedral treasury includes, among other things, the Hornbach Sacramentary, a statue of the Virgin Mary, and a manuscript created around 983 in the Reichenau Monastery.
The 66-meter-high onion dome was occupied for a long time by a tower guard. A drawing by Peter Thumb from 1708 indicates that a second, also unrealized, tower was already under discussion for the previous collegiate church.
The Church of St. Urs and Victor served as the minster of the St. Ursenstift since the Middle Ages and, in its current form, became the episcopal church of the Diocese of Basel, which had relocated to Solothurn, in 1828.

Ascent to Grenchenberg

Grenchenberg

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Grenchenberg is very suitable as a preparation for our beautiful Swiss passes. Not too steep, constant average incline of about 10%. After about an hour you are upstairs and you've done a good job. In the restaurant you can treat yourself to a coffee and enjoy the view or drive a little further to Obergrenchenberg and take a short break there. As a descent, the Grenchenberg is easier to drive than many Jura mountains and is relatively clear. Attention! It has some nasty potholes. It is well suited for U / O training because you can introduce several interval blocks.

Balsthal is a great starting point leading to 4 nice low level passes (Passwang, Schelten, Hauenstein and Binzberg via Gänsbrunnen). The village itself does offer several restaurants from inexpensive bistros to 3 star restaurants as well as several fountains to fill up your water bottles.

Wiedlisbach Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Cute little cobblestone village. Very charming place, right across from the flower shop is a fountain and on the other side a bike shop for needed repairs.
