The Antoniusgrotte is located in the Alzenau city forest.
A stream about 150 m long runs through the area of the Antoniusgrotte. It rises about a hundred meters northeast of the grotto, then flows through a fish pond and finally seeps into the sandy forest floor right next to the grotto.
In the spring of 1954, the grotto was built in honor of Saint Anthony, out of gratitude for the fathers and sons of Alzenau who had returned from World War II, and was financed by voluntary donations from all over Kahlgrund. A sculptor from Somborn made the 1.25 m high statue of Antonius from shell limestone, which carries the baby Jesus in his arms. It stands on a plinth from which a gargoyle in the form of a lion's head protrudes. The masonry is made of red sandstone from the Spessart.
The Grotto of St. Anthony was renovated from 2003 to 2006.

The Antoniusgrotte is located in the Alzenauer Stadtwald, north of the state road 2305, in the west of a large clearing. It lies in a small gorge between the Rotenberg and the Ruhberg in the "Rupprich".
A 150 m long stream runs through the area of the Antoniusgrotte. It rises about a hundred meters northeast of the grotto, then flows through a fish pond and finally seeps away into the sandy forest floor right next to the grotto.

It stands on a plinth from which a gargoyle in the form of a lion's head protrudes. The masonry is made of red sandstone from the Spessart. The Antonius Grotto was consecrated in May 1955 in the presence of Heinrich Degen. Mayor Michael Antoni took over the maintenance of the grotto until his death in 1968. Until then, an annual service was held there. The Grotto of St. Anthony was renovated from 2003 to 2006.

Right next to it there is also a refuge where you can retreat in bad weather.
