In autumn, when the leaves change color, one tree stands out from all the others. It stands slightly above the Abbaye de la Maigrauge and shines like a beacon in the night. It's a ginkgo tree. Ginkgo trees have lived on Earth since before the dinosaurs. The seeds of the ginkgo tree can be used in cosmetics and medicines. By the way, did you know? In Hiroshima, a ginkgo tree stood about 800 meters from where the atomic bomb exploded. The following spring, a fresh, shy shoot grew from the old rootstock. Incredible, isn't it?

A hermit's dwelling in the hamlet of Räsch was first mentioned in 1448. The hermit Johann Dupré and his assistant Johann Liecht expanded the rock dwelling to its current size between 1680 and 1708. In order to prevent the hermitage from collapsing and to preserve it for the general public, the parish of Düdingen carried out extensive renovation work in 2005/2006. Open and free of charge from April to September.

The Magdalena Hermitage in Büdingen is a historic hermitage that was built in the 18th century. It is picturesquely located on the edge of the forest and consists of a small chapel and a residential building for the hermit. The hermitage served as a retreat for religious hermits and is now a popular destination for visitors seeking peace and historical atmosphere.

A whole grotto system was created by hand between 1680 and 1708 and offered retreat to hermits. Coincidentally, petrified sand dunes of a sea that was here 20 million years ago (Tertiary) came to light.

Within sight of the Abbaye, in a hollow of the knee, is the Saane, this natural rock formation. Once upon a time, powerful underwater currents continuously eroded the rocks to the crag over eons of years. If you want to look up from the river bed to the edge of the cliff with its treetops, you have to tilt your head all the way back. The washed-out sandstone spirals into the sky in a breathtaking way and leaves the viewer standing there quite small and with their mouth open. The term "divine" takes on a new meaning here in the face of the abbey. A real natural highlight!!!

Easy to reach on foot within 40 minutes from the Poya railway station.

The shortest ascent is via the La Berra cable car from La Roche. From the mountain station it is less than 90 meters in altitude to the summit with the pyramid, which is one of Switzerland's triangulation points (fixed points for measuring Switzerland). These 80 or so pyramids were built between 1884 and 1970. About 60 of them still exist today. They are also shown on the 25, 50 and 100,000 scale maps, with a triangle and a dot in the middle. The Berra is also easily accessible from the Grau car park (accessible only in summer from Le Mouret) or from the Plasselbschlund. If you like it a little further, you can hike to the summit from the Schwarzsee via a high-altitude hike or from the charterhouse (monastery) of La Valsainte (municipality of Val-de-Charmey). The summit of La Berra can therefore be reached from completely different directions.
