A lovingly furnished grotto for the little dwarves

The Virgin Mary depicted and venerated here is that of Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by many people every year, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Virgin Mary has become widespread—not only in France—and Lourdes chapels and grottoes have been built by believers everywhere. The feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes is February 11, the anniversary of the Marian apparition (1858), when the Virgin Mary appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a grotto near Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the young age of 35. On December 8 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary), 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI.

A not very well-known spot, but nice to discover, especially when you continue the path (see photo), because in autumn, the scenery is worthy of Lord of the Rings.

An unexpected trail but without regrets...

Great corner with mega views

Surprisingly beautiful narrow gorge with several waterfalls.

Nice pass with flat areas to bivouac.

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.
