    According to legend, in the Thirty Years' War a woman, a herbalist, found refuge with her goats in the cave and survived the turmoil of the war. Allegedly, a rock fall spilled the cave around 1930.

      There is no recognizable path to the grotto. As everything is overgrown with blackberry bushes in summer, it is better to visit outside of the growing season. Be careful: there is a short, very steep section to overcome, as well as fallen trees/broken branches.
