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.

Another world, it is so beautiful there.

very pretty here, very pretty

Actually, there shouldn't be a photo of this place here - there is a photography ban around the hermitage🤔

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.

The hermitage of St. Verena is, together with the hermitage in Arlesheim, one of the most important landscape gardens in Switzerland. In contrast to Arlesheim, Solothurn can boast an original hermitage. In the north, the gorge opens up to a clearing with two baroque chapels and the hermit's cloister. Saint Verena is said to have lived and worked in the cave behind the Martin Chapel. The Verena Chapel is dedicated to her. The hermitage, inhabited by a forest brother/hermit or a hermitess for many hundreds of years, has been located near the northern exit of the Verena Gorge. The cloister and garden, the Verena and Martin Chapels, the Magdalene and Mount of Olives grottos are under cantonal monument protection on Rütten soil and belong to the Solothurn community.
