Olten, Switzerland

Located in North Central Switzerland, Olten is the average large town you can expect to find in the German-speaking region of the country. When you get off the train you’ll see the River Aare in front of you which can be crossed on the historic Alte Brücke that leads you Read more

Balzers, Liechtenstein
