    Pastor Franz Josef Fuchs had the Lourdes grotto built into the northern slope of the Hohenberg. This was consecrated on June 20, 1886. In the Lourdes grotto you can still see glass particles from the Rosenberg glass factory. The building material used was cinder blocks from the disused glass factory, into which different colored glass was melted. The grotto is freely accessible and can be reached via a path northwest of the pilgrimage church of St. James. It is located in a small forest directly on a small pond. This can be combined with a visit to the pilgrimage church of St. James. The outer facade of the Sieger-Köder-Haus right next to the church is also worth seeing.

    The grotto is located in a beautiful forest. You can leave this on various paths and take a hike around Hohenberg.

      You can also pass here on the 1st stage of the Bühlersteig (via the Hohenberg from Ellwangen to Willa).
