Walking tour: Hermitage Sainte-Marie-Madeleine

" Shadowed walk under the tall tree tops combining remains of the past and archaeological excavations. What is a Hermite? "

Starting in Steinbach, this lovely walk, shaded by the treetops, takes you to the remains of an ancient chapel and hermitage in the village's mining valley. These ruins are home to a 15th-century chapel and the house of a hermit whose solitary life was devoted to prayer and work: maintaining the chapel, growing fruit and vegetables, keeping bees and gathering medicinal plants to treat his many visitors. A pleasant walk with no particular difficulty. Its strong point: the remains and the explanatory panels.
