Hiking

The grotto commemorates the apparitions of Lourdes and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. A small spring emerges from the rock, to which devout visitors attribute healing or blessing powers. A statue of the Virgin Mary watches over the site, often surrounded by candles, flowers, and silent prayers.

Hiking

North of the pilgrimage church is the Heiligenbrünnlein. It was refitted in 1667. The spring emerges in a "grotto" where a Madonna statue is located. A stone is embedded in the ceiling. By touching the stone and eyes with water from the spring and reciting the prayer: "Maria hilf, dass ich besser sehen kann" (Mary, help me to see better), the water is attributed a healing effect. Neusaß lies lonely and idyllic on the heights of Schöntal between meadows and fields. Nearby are several fish ponds of the monastery. Immediately next to it is the forester's lodge (Forsthaus).

I was told to rub the water over your eyes so you never lose your sight.
