The Heiligenhäuschen north-west of Oberelz not only invites hikers to linger with benches and tables. The designers of the house have also manifested their relationship to the world. A statue of Mary from Lourdes suggests that she was brought back from a pilgrimage to France. Next to her there are also two little pictures depicting the apparition of Mary in Lourdes.

"They say the wanderer is a sinner because he doesn't go to church often. However, a silent look at heaven is better than a false prayer".

The little saint's house northwest of Oberelz not only invites hikers to linger with benches and tables. The designers of the cottage have also manifested their relationship with the world. A statue of Mary from Lourdes suggests that it was brought back to France from a pilgrimage. Next to her are two pictures that depict the apparition of Mary in Lourdes.
