Confluence of the Sarine and the Gérine

Highlight • River

The Gérine, or Ärgera in German, is a river in the canton of Fribourg. It joins the Sarine just west of Marly, offering a unique landscape and a preserved setting.

Sandstone Cliffs on the Sarine River

Highlight • Natural Monument

Within sight of the Abbaye, in a hollow of the knee, is the Saane, this natural rock formation. Once upon a time, powerful underwater currents continuously eroded the rocks to the crag over eons of years. If you want to look up from the river bed to the edge of the cliff with its treetops, you have to tilt your head all the way back. The washed-out sandstone spirals into the sky in a breathtaking way and leaves the viewer standing there quite small and with their mouth open. The term "divine" takes on a new meaning here in the face of the abbey. A real natural highlight!!!

Matran Sculpture Trail

Highlight • Trail

It is in the hollow of a valley dug by the Glâne that pretty sculptures were created, carved directly from stumps or blocks of noble stone.
Founded in 2005, the Matran Sculpte association aims to introduce sculpture to a wide audience while promoting cultural and artistic exchanges between sculptors from here and elsewhere.
Every two years it organizes an international sculpture symposium bringing together 10 sculptors from all over the world. For 10 days, the sculptors create a work in front of the public according to a defined theme. Wood and stone are the materials used for the symposium. Access indicated by carved oak panels.
Departure from Matran towards the Montena factory or towards the Coop station roundabout.
