Hike to historic Romainmôtier

Our fantastic guide Johannes Stenberg takes us to a "hidden" gem in our neighborhood, the medieval Romainmôtier. In the 11th century, the Benedictines in Burgundian Cluny found a monastery that quickly gained no less than 1,500 followers, 20 of them in present-day Switzerland. Our easy walk, about 45 minutes, starts at the train station in Croy and leads along the pilgrim's path to beautiful Romainmôtier where the Middle Ages come alive. By the way, the monastery is the third on the same site – the first was already founded in the 4th century and was thus the first in Switzerland.
