A beautiful hike and not too strenuous. While it's still pleasant here in the gorge in summer, it's worth going a little off-season, when it's much quieter.

The idyllic Verena Gorge is located just outside the city of Solothurn. It can be reached on foot from Solothurn in about 20 minutes, but you can also take the bus to the entrance of the gorge (line 4, stop St. Niklaus).

The well-developed, easy-to-walk path then leads through the wild and romantic gorge to a hermitage and two chapels. Three restaurants in the vicinity invite you to stop for a bite to eat. The hike, which is actually more of a stroll, is two kilometers long, and the elevation gain is moderate at 40 meters.

A very beautiful path leads through the gorge and past the hermitage.

The St. Martin Chapel is not open to the public. However, you can take a look inside through a small window.
