Tips

Udo unter freiem Himmel

April 11, 2023

The ascent to the grotto, where St. Ursicius once lived as a hermit, is not without its challenges. Some very high stone steps lead up steeply and serpentine-like. You have to be good on foot. In front of the grotto is the hermitage chapel, rebuilt in 1621. Right next to it, through an opening carved in the rock, one can see down on the collegiate church, the monastery and part of the town. From here, a very narrow path leads further up the hill to the fortified tower and the ruins of Saint-Ursanne Castle, which towered high above the town. Beautifully carved wooden plaques accompany the hiker along the way, providing information about the life of Saint Ursicius. Danger! The path is really narrow in places and only suitable for sure-footed people.
