The Marientritt is a bowl-shaped depression in the rock of the Johannesbach Gorge, created by millennia of water erosion. Such depressions are also called "mills" or "kolke" (coals) – they are silent witnesses to the geological past and the power of the Johannesbach stream.

The name "Marientritt" goes back to a local legend: According to legend, the Virgin Mary left her footprint in the stone here. A small plaque on site tells the story and invites you to pause and reflect. A quiet, mystical place in the middle of the wild gorge – easy to miss, but definitely worth a look!

This place is known as the Marian Way, because when the Holy Family moved on safely after a storm, two footprints remained in the rock niche.
