    Hiking

    At the beginning (or, coming from the other direction, at the end) of the "Weingärtener Höfe" complex, a small artificial hill—now overgrown with ivy—was built, featuring a grotto. Inside is a statue of the Virgin Mary. Julius Cardinal Döpfner (1913–1976) once said:

    "The veneration of Mary in its various forms is an integral part of Catholic piety. It is impossible to imagine the life of the Church without the Rosary, without the Marian month of May, without the Marian feasts, and without the numerous depictions of Mary."

    Pretty little Mariengrotte entwined with ivy. Nice to look at.
