The Chemin de Croix is a historic outdoor incarnation of the Stations of the Cross designed by artist Maria de Faykod. The huge religious symbol is 4,921 feet (1,500 meters) long. A steep and winding pathway meanders up to the Espélugues Hill, where you will find the 115 cast iron and gold figures of this work of art. Snap photos of this intriguing religious work and contemplate its profound meaning. Ensure you wear comfortable footwear and clothing for the arduous hike uphill. Bring sufficient water to climb up this stone surface, which can be uneven. Arrive at the top of the forested hill and enjoy the sense of utter serenity in this tranquil haven. Greeting the hikers is an array of bronze statues representing the Stations of the Cross, a religious symbol that splits into 14 images representing the story of the day of Christ’s crucifixion. Stop at each Station to inspect the work of art, allowing you enough time to catch your breath and continue on the path. The site was completed in 1912 following donations from benefactors and religious groups. Gaze into the distance to spot the summits of the Pyrenees Mountains on the horizon. Relax on a grassy knoll and watch vacationers and pilgrims go by. Note that it is best to attempt the hike during daylight hours, as the site is not lit at night. It is free to visit and accessible for pilgrims with reduced mobility. The Chemin de Croix is just south of the Gave de Pau river, northwest of the center of Lourdes. Walk west from the Lourdes railway station for around 10 minutes to get here. Visit some of the sights in the area, such as the Sainte-Bernadette Church, the Notre-Dame de Lourdes Sanctuary and the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary. ### Popular places to visit ![Notre-Dame de l\'Immaculee-Conception showing heritage architecture and a church or cathedral](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/266000/266666-Notre-Dame-De-Limmaculee-Conception.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Basilica of the Immaculate Conception 5/5(17 reviews) One of the most eye-catching monuments in Lourdes is the basilica that sits above the grotto, part of a wider sanctuary of impressive churches.
