Description

The starting point is Flums railroad station. The trail leads along the Seez via Pluder to Berschis. After the village fountain, take the path into the village and follow the road uphill to the first path that branches off to the right. This leads you to the Lourdes Grotto. Then take the little path that follows the foot of the mountain to Ughürig Brunnä. Continue along the little path until you turn right again at the parking lot on the road to Sennis and climb the Georgenberg. You return to the starting point via the same route as you came.

Lourdes Grotto: The Lourdes Grotto is a place of wonder with remarkable energies. Like the majority of grottoes, it has a purifying effect, drawing strength from us. The benches under the large, old trees are a good place to rest and reflect.

Ughürig Brunnä: The Ughürig Brunnä is a stately natural glacier mill several meters in diameter. Legend has it that the devil himself, in the form of a snake, guards an immeasurable treasure in the well. The energies here are rather uncomfortable and have degrading elements.

St. Georgen Chapel (place of worship): The highlight of the Route of Amazement Berschis is undoubtedly the chapel on the St. Georgenberg. It is one of the very few two-aisled churches in Switzerland and one of the oldest churches in Sarganserland. In the chapel we find interesting energetic conditions, with the altar marking the strongest point. Behind the altar is the so-called "headache hole", which is still familiar to the local population today. If you hold your head in the hole, it is said to relieve headaches.
