    Hiking

    The hermitage of St. Verena is, together with the hermitage in Arlesheim, one of the most important landscape gardens in Switzerland. In contrast to Arlesheim, Solothurn can boast an original hermitage.

    In the north, the gorge opens up to a clearing with two baroque chapels and the hermit's cloister. Saint Verena is said to have lived and worked in the cave behind the Martin Chapel. The Verena Chapel is dedicated to her.

    The hermitage, inhabited by a forest brother/hermit or a hermitess for many hundreds of years, has been located near the northern exit of the Verena Gorge.

    Hiking

    The hermitage has its charms in every season and can be a special place of peace. Therefore, we ask that you refrain from taking photos, cycling and climbing. But it is particularly special at Christmas, when the entire Verena Gorge is illuminated with thousands of candles by its visitors.
