"In recent years, reports of the healing power of a source in the area of the Almbachklamm increased. Where, on August 14, the annual Untersberg pilgrimage has one of its stations, near the so-called Irlmaier Madonna, our sacred mountain "the Heart Chakra of the Earth" seems to give away - a special elixir of life from its innermost. "

The Madonna, which originally comes from the Würzburg area, was formerly owned by the Freilassing clairvoyant and well builder Alois Irlmaier (1894-1959). He gave it to the Berchtesgaden dentist Dr. Eugen Köberle (1913-1979), who, among other things, was interested in the healing power of water and headed the local Kneipp Association.
. Following an inspiration, the Berchtesgaden dentist Eugen Köberle found a spring in the Almbachklamm in the mid-1970s. A few years later, a friend of Köberle's had the 800 kg Irlmaier Madonna brought there with the help of a cable car in a technically complicated feat of strength. Since then, many people have undertaken the one-hour walk to the "Irlmaier Madonna" and tapped the water, which is constantly eight degrees cool. It is said to be particularly helpful for cardiovascular problems and depression. In any case, Hagen Böhnisch, the man who erected the Madonna, was cured of his heart disease by working at the spring.

The Madonna rises on a spring covered with natural stones. The left blessing figure is somewhat protected from the weather by a small round arch with a roof. The source has only a small spring discharge and pours into a small basin with large and small stones. From there the water flows as a small stream across the path to the Almbach.

In front of the spring there is a small square with benches to linger. Many visitors decorate the place with various things such as Steinmandln, flower decorations and many other things. Around the Madonna there are a few small stones, offerings and a few death pictures. However, a sign warns against setting up candles due to the high risk of fire in the forest.
