Basel is situated on both sides of the Rhine, it has celtic roots, but the old city is mainly medieval, however the riches and the  extensive cultural life are greatly due to the thriving chemical industry and thus Basle has also become a centre of medical research.

My Neighbourhood: Petersplatz, University and St. Peter

Basel on a Sunday

A medieval door and detail

Near the cathedral and its ferry

The ferry master knitted his jumper matching to the lead-line

On the other side of the Rhine, a favourite walk

My personal favourite: the Spalentor and a view through it
