Top 9 Caves バートエムスでの

A super short but challenging trail. Highly recommended. To have a good route to continue on, it's a good idea to turn right after the uphill section.

There are many stations along the Way of the Cross.

Grotto on Allerheiligenberg.

At this point, the row of chapels that leads up the All Saints' Hill to the pilgrimage church interrupts the various decades of the rosary, and here we are shown the Madonna of Lourdes. This internationally famous Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by many people every year, including many sick people who hope for healing. The devotional image of the Mother of God, as passed down by the visionary Bernadette, has found widespread popular piety - not only in France - and Lourdes chapels and grottos have been built by believers everywhere.

Allerheiligenberg

Take a flashlight with you

Even before the hiker (or pilgrim) reaches the plateau of the All Saints' Hill with the pilgrimage church, there is this grotto with a figure of the Virgin Mary and a person kneeling to the side of it. The latter is Saint Bernadette, to whom the Virgin Mary appeared in Lourdes (in the French Pyrenees) in 1858. The small town on the banks of the Pau has developed into an important Marian pilgrimage site (if you are interested, see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/4296538 ).

Flashlight required. It goes about 50 meters into the mountain
