Description

The starting point is Flums train station. The trail leads along the Seez via Pluder to Berschis. After the village fountain, choose the path into the village and follow the road uphill to the first path branching off to the right. It leads you to the Lourdes grotto. Then take the path that follows the foot of the mountain and leads to the Ughürig spring. Continue along the path until you reach the parking lot by the road to Sennis, where you turn right again and ascend the Georgenberg. You return to the starting point via the same route.



Lourdes grotto: The Lourdes grotto is a place of wonder with remarkable energies. Like most grottos, it has a cleansing effect by drawing strength from us. On the benches under the large, old trees, you can rest well and reflect.



Ughürig spring: The Ughürig spring is a substantial natural glacier mill hole several meters in diameter. Legend tells that the devil himself, in the form of a snake, guards an immense treasure in the spring. The energies here are rather uncomfortable and have degrading elements.



St. Georgen chapel (cult site): The highlight of the Route of Wonders Berschis is undoubtedly the chapel on the St. Georgen hill. It is one of the very few two-nave churches in Switzerland and one of the oldest churches in the Sarganserland. Inside the chapel, we find interesting energetic relationships, 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. When you put your head into the hole, it is said to relieve headaches.
