    Lourdes grottoes can be found all over Europe. This one in Oberachern was inaugurated in 1996 after the Mary and Bernadette figures were in a lime tree near the Antonius Chapel for a long time and at some point fell into a Sleeping Beauty sleep there. The Lourdes Grottoes refer to the appearance of the Mother of God to St. Bernadette, which is said to have first taken place in 1858 in a grotto at Massabielle near Lourdes in southern France. Hardly any other place is more associated with miracles and healing than Massabielle.

      Beautifully laid out and well-kept. There are even candles. A place of peace.
