The Mariastein monastery is considered the second most important pilgrimage site in Switzerland after Einsiedeln. Its origins go back to a legend in which a little boy fell over a high rock face and was then found unharmed by his mother. After he told his father that he had been caught by a woman, the father was sure that it was the Virgin Mary. He had a chapel built in a cave in her honor. The monastery complex can be visited daily, but services are held regularly. More information can be found here: https://www.kloster-mariastein.ch/informationen/agenda/

I could no longer see any ruins on this overgrown rock. The narrow path, which seems to be taken from a fairy tale book, leads to Biedertal Castle, but is always worth a visit. Once you arrive at the castle grounds, it is not immediately clear where the path continues. If you want to visit the castle rock cave, the narrow path leads through the buildings and down into the forest. The cave itself exudes a very special atmosphere.

A small entrance gives access to this fairly deep cave. It owes its name to Doctor Herrings, a village doctor with a passion for caving who died here following a landslide in 1914.

The rocks of the Grotte des Nains form an impressive gorge, approximately 25 meters high. According to legend, the little women of the earth lived here with the Erdmanala (little men of the earth). The gorge gives access to the Plateau des Nains and a beautiful view of the Ill valley.

The origins of the Benedictine monastery of Mariastein lie in Beinwil in Solothurn. Here, at the northern foot of the Passwang, Abbot Esso founded a settlement with monks from the Hirsau reform monastery in the Black Forest around the year 1100. In 1648, Abbot Fintan Kieffer moved the monastery from Beinwil to Mariastein. In addition to caring for pilgrims, a monastery school was run at the new location. At the same time, the priests looked after the monastery parishes. In 1798, the revolutionary period brought an end to the monastery and pilgrimage and the monks fled. The monastery's property was sold or leased. In 1802, Abbot Hieronymus Brunner (1765-1804) bought the monastery back. His successor, Abbot Placidus Ackermann (1804-1841), had the buildings gradually renovated. In 1874, the monastery was closed again as a result of the Kulturkampf. However, the state committed itself to maintaining the pilgrimage. The abbot and convent settled in Delle, France, and in 1906 they built a new home for themselves in Bregenz on Lake Constance with the St. Gallus monastery. Driven out by the National Socialist regime in 1941, the monks returned to Mariastein as an asylum. In 1971, the abbey was restored under civil law following a cantonal referendum. The complete renovation of the monastery complex was started and was happily completed with the renovation of the church in 1999/2000.
