The hermitage of the Virgen de la Hoz is located in one of the most charming places in the Las Merindades region, north of Burgos. In the heart of the Montes Obarenes-San Zadornil natural park is this set of hermitages nestled in the rocky cut that the Molinar River has pierced at whim over the millennia.

The Hermitage of Our Lady of the Sickle is nestled beneath the cliff, reached by crossing the small bridge over the Molinar River. Dating from the 13th century, it features both Romanesque and Gothic elements and has an arched portico offering fine views of the surrounding area. At its base stands a second, much smaller hermitage, dating from the 17th century, which houses an altar dedicated to Christ of the Remedies.
