On a beautiful forest path you reach the lovingly prepared St. Mary's Grotto.

Here, a clearing in the forest was used to create a small "sacred area" in the middle of nature, one that hikers and bikers should not pass by unnoticed. A small hill constructed of natural stone—one could also call it a grotto—rises in the middle of the forest clearing. It is crowned by a cross with the Corpus Christi. The centerpiece of this small sacred monument, however, is a depiction of the Virgin Mary, with a votive tablet on either side of her image.
Seating and tables complete the ensemble.
