[1] The name of the hermitage alludes to Saint Verena of Zurzach.
The site features Stations of the Cross dating from 1613 that were restored around 1990 by the Society of St. Verena Hermitage.
A similar gesellschaft corporation was established in the late 20th century dedicated to restoration and maintenance work on the buildings and monuments of the Hermitage and its surroundings.
It organizes cultural events such as guided tours, lectures and exhibitions in the Verena gorge, also offering meditations in the hermitage.
