Mount of Olives Grotto (Ölberggrotte) Gößweinstein

The Mount of Olives Grotto is a cave in which there is a group of Mounts of Olives. It is located near the Capuchin Cave and Elisabethen Grotto. It can be found on the Way of the Cross at an altitude of 497 meters.

The short detour to the small Mount of Olives grotto, which is worth seeing, is worthwhile. The biblical scene is shown of Jesus praying together with his disciples in the garden of Gethsemane the night before his crucifixion.

In the grotto or cave found here there is an interesting little shrine that commemorates the Passion of Jesus: It is the Mount of Olives Grotto in Gößweinstein. According to the New Testament accounts of the Passion of Jesus Christ, the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem was the scene of two events that followed the "Last Supper":
+ Jesus' prayer to God the Father, during which the overtired disciples fell asleep;
+ and then the arrest of Jesus.
