Description

The starting point is Flums station. Along the Seez, the path leads via Pluder to Berschis. After the village fountain, choose the path into the village and follow the road uphill to the first path, which branches off to the right. It will take you to the Lourdes Grotto. Then choose the path that follows the foot of the mountain and reach the Ughürig Brunnä. Follow the path until you turn right again at the parking lot on the road to Sennis and climb onto the Georgenberg. The same route as they came will take you back to the starting point.

Lourdes Grotto: The Lourdes Grotto is a place of wonder with remarkable energies. Like the majority of grottoes, it has a cleansing effect by depriving us of strength. On the benches under the large, old trees you can rest and go well.

Ughürig Brunne: The Ughürig Brunnä is a stately natural glacier mill with a diameter of a few meters. 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.

Chapel of St. Georgen (cult place): The highlight of Berschi's Route of Wonder 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 known to the local population today. If you hold your head in the hole, it is supposed to relieve headaches.
