Vandring

The place around the spring and around the chapel of St. Jouvin radiates something magical. He seems to have been used for eternal times as a "holy" place. You will find a Christian stone altar and mossy steps, plus lots of nature and tranquility.
Every year at the end of May / beginning of June a pilgrimage to the healing spring takes place. Many people rely on the water, which is said to have natural healing properties, and bottle them off.

Chapel and statue "Saint Jouwien blesses a toddler": very beautiful place, lonely and yet (or therefore (?)) Powerful. Even if the to bless toddler has the same hairstyle as Donald Trump. Currently, however, is a cow pasture on the way to the chapel. In order to get there, you have to cross a cattle fence or under. And yes, the fence carries electricity ...

The chapel was built in the 16th century and is dedicated to St Jouvin who died in 370. He was renowned for curing skin diseases and in particular eczema as well as the source which is located not far from the chapel. A pilgrimage takes place here every year on Whit Monday. More sportily the descent of the wood on mountain bikes requires a little caution.
