    A hermit's dwelling in the hamlet of Räsch was first mentioned in 1448. The hermit Johann Dupré and his assistant Johann Liecht expanded the rock dwelling to its current size between 1680 and 1708. In order to prevent the hermitage from collapsing and to preserve it for the general public, the parish of Düdingen carried out extensive renovation work in 2005/2006.
    Open and free of charge from April to September.

      Information about the hermitage: The Magdalena hermitage of the Düdingen parish - dug into a rock face high above the Schiffenen reservoir - is a place of power with a unique aura. It consists of various rooms with a total length of 120m. The rock chapel was consecrated on June 8, 1691 in honor of St. Mary Magdalene. A hermit is first mentioned in 1609. The hermit Johann Dupré and his assistant Johann Liecht contributed to the design of the rooms in the years between 1680 and 1708. The hermitage is home to a geological phenomenon: the visitor walks on petrified sand dunes that testify to the presence of a sea about 20 million years ago.
