알트피르트 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

A lovingly furnished grotto for the little dwarves

A very nice hike and view from the tower. There are signs at the top pointing out the sights you can see in the distance. It wobbles slightly at the very top.

Directly on the hiking trail

Dwarf Cave

In 1913 and 1914, following the ideas of Johann Knauth, architect of Strasbourg Cathedral and curator of the M.H., the nave, the side chapel of the Sacré-Coeur, the Saint-Joseph Chapel in the basement, and the sacristy were rebuilt in the Gothic style by the architect Alexandre Louvat from Mulhouse. The old Gothic nave, remodeled in the 18th century, was decorated with murals dating from 1491. To the south of the choir was a small chapel dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, with cross-ribbed vaults on consoles. To the north were the remains of the old priory cloister. On the site of the present Sacred Heart Chapel was the 18th-century Mount of Olives, the rood screen of which was removed in 1861.

Picknick at the bench near the cave

Metal tower with steep stairs. Good railing for safe climbing up and down. The top level is accessible via a vertical ladder. Also easy to use, but only if you can handle the height.

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.
