    Hiking

    On the parish pages on the Internet, it says:

    At the entrance to the Tiefenbachtal there is the Mariengrotte embedded in a rock. In the fifties, the existing niche in the slate rock of the Roßlacher Berg was expanded by the parish of Steinberg into the Mariengrotte. Every year at the beginning of the month of May, the statue of Our Lady is solemnly carried into the grotto by the parish church. Even today people meet here to worship the rosary. Adjacent neighbors take care of the decoration and maintenance of the grotto.

    Mary's Grotto at the entrance to the Tiefenbach Valley. In the 1950s, the existing niche in the slate rock of the Roßlacher Berg was converted into the Mary's Grotto by the Steinberg parish. Every year at the beginning of May, the statue of the Virgin Mary is ceremoniously carried from the parish church into the grotto.
