Since 1988, the Aarburg Fortress has housed the Aarburg Youth Home, a home for male youth between the ages of 14 and 22.

Unfortunately, due to its current function as a youth home, the fortifications are not freely accessible. However, from spring to autumn, there are public guided tours through the historical grounds every Saturday at 2:00 p.m.

View of Aarburg Castle and Church

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Zweiturmkirche is uniquely situated. It stands in front of the fortress Aarburg high above the Aare and is therefore visible from afar.

Olten Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The winding, beautiful old town lies on the banks of the Aare, where an old wooden bridge connects the two sides. In the center is the city tower, which can be seen from afar and is 42 meters high. The tower, which is now free, was once part of the town church of St. Martin, but it was demolished in 1844.
