Verena Gorge and hermitage
The leisurely stroll from the centre of Solothurn to the entrance of Verena Gorge takes about 30 minutes.
Beschreibung
Just outside the city of Solothurn is the idyllic Verena Gorge – a place of mystical power. There is still a hermit living there to this day. The entrance to the Verena Gorge is a pleasant 20–30-minute walk from the centre of town. The romantic route takes you through the woods along a babbling brook to the hermitage. The little hermitage building and the Magdalena and Ölberg grottoes are a captivating sight.
Tip: the Verena Gorge is particularly magical at Christmas.
