Schönenwerd, a municipality in the canton of Solothurn, in the district of Olten, is home to a most unusual museum: the Bally Schuhmuseum. As its name indicates in German, this institution is placed under the sign of... shoes. Since 1942, the small Swiss town has been home to this museum, which traces the history of footwear from antiquity to the present day. During your visit, make a detour to the Gugelmann Paul-Museum, dedicated to the poetic machines of the famous Swiss artist. Finally, nature lovers will appreciate the Bally-Park, located a 10-minute walk from the station, a pretty English-style garden with houses on stilts, ponds and canals
