メムブリスの峡谷・トップ15

It's certainly an impressive rock formation. However, it takes a bit of imagination to recognize the "Witch's Head."

The Antonius Grotto is a very well-maintained facility. It's a place created out of gratitude. Here you can also take a break in the refuge.

Beautiful rock formation... I didn't see the hex... or it didn't show itself to me

Nice rock formation even if I didn't necessarily recognize the head

With a lot of imagination you can see a witch's face in the rock.

It was Saturday and unfortunately quite full.

A very nice area with the grotto, resting places etc.

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. 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 St. Anthony made of 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 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. Source: Wikipedia
