The natural staircase to the Lourdes Grotto in Höchstberg is a picturesque yet challenging path that leads pilgrims and hikers to the grotto. This staircase consists of 256 slippery and varied natural steps that lead through the forest down into the Tiefenbach valley. The path is particularly challenging in wet weather as the steps can be slippery.

This grotto is a replica of the famous Grotto of Lourdes in France and offers a quiet place for prayer and reflection. The grotto is a place of peace and quiet, surrounded by nature and offers a wonderful way to escape from everyday life and enjoy a moment of silence.

Coming from Höchstberg, a small sign on the mountain barn shows the way from above to the grotto. From below the Untergriesheimer Weir car park, steep stairs go up.
