Imposing grotto and at the same time a place of pilgrimage. Here you should switch from the hiking trail near the bridge to the road and pause for a moment and enjoy the gentle coolness and refresh yourself with the water from the Karlsquelle (which is said to have healing powers). A small karst spring arises inside the cave. The water flows as a trickle from a stalagmite into a shallow basin. There is a crucifix under the entrance arch of the grotto, dedicated to Saint Columba of Sens, a 3rd century martyr. The place has been the destination of a pilgrimage on August 15th since the 13th century. The spring water is said to have miraculous healing powers.

Grotto in the rock with many thank you plaques.

Very nice view over the Jura. Be careful when walking on the observation tower, it is quite narrow when you go up the ladder

The Roc de Courroux is located on the challenging Kretentrail from the Retemberg down to Delémont. The trail is blocked and offers many key points. The view from Roc de Courroux is obscured by trees. Source images: Internet

Impressive grotto and pilgrimage site. You should really stop here and enjoy the gentle coolness and fill your bottle with the water from the Karlsquelle (which is said to have healing powers). Inside the grotto, a small karst spring rises. The water flows as a trickle from a stalagmite into a shallow basin. There is a crucifix under the entrance arch of the grotto, which is dedicated to Saint Columba of Sens, a martyr from the 3rd century. Since the 13th century, the place has been the destination of a pilgrimage that takes place on August 15th. The spring water is said to have miraculous healing powers.

This valley entrance is actually impressive, definitely worth a photo! 3km long gorge accompanied by the Birs river. It rolls happily from Court 3km 100m downhill to Mourtier. Tarmac is good, rolls fine. At the moment still closed to car traffic because a bridge is being repaired, but easily passable by bike. Carved over centuries by the waters of the Birs, the walls of the Gorges de Court are now a popular destination for climbing and hiking enthusiasts. The Birs, which rises in Le Pierre-Pertuis and flows into the Rhine in Birsfelden, forms large gorges above and below Moutier. To pass through the Court gorge, created by the water of the Birs, a footpath is used, passing through man-made footbridges, stairs and even a tunnel. The walls carved into the Graitery rise out of the river, sometimes steeply, sometimes rather flat. And on the excursion to the Court Gorge, hikers can enjoy the coolness caused by the shade of the walls. More: https://j3l.ch/de/P33218/reisezielen/naturschoenheiten/gorges-de-court
