    Hiking

    "Southeast of Kordel, we come across a Marian grotto in the form of a semi-cave high on the rocky slope, with a statue and inscription:

    "I do not want to be rich, nor gain fame. Nor do I want to shy away from work, toil, and trouble. Only one thing I ask of you; O Holy Mary, let me wander, until my last day."

    The first part seems as if someone wants to keep the poor rural population willing to work; we certainly agree with the second passage."

    Beautiful photo opportunity: Statue on the rocky slope 🎨📸

    Perhaps one pauses for a moment...each in their own way...

    Inscription:

    "I do not want to be rich
    nor gain fame.
    "Nor do I shy away from work, toil, and trouble.
    "Only one thing I ask of you; O Holy Mary - let me wander,
    until my last day."

    Many Matthias brotherhoods from the Lower Rhine pass by here to rest at Ramstein Castle.
