エルレンバッハの峡谷・トップ4

A long staircase of irregular sandstone steps leads to this beautiful spot. At the top, you can sit in a small covered arbor, enjoy the view, and listen to the babbling brook. Many thanks to everyone who cares for and maintains this place.

The natural staircase to the Lourdes Grotto in Höchstberg is a picturesque yet challenging path that leads pilgrims and hikers to the grotto. This staircase consists of 256 slippery and varied natural steps that lead through the forest down into the Tiefenbach valley. The path is particularly challenging in wet weather as the steps can be slippery.

This grotto is a replica of the famous Grotto of Lourdes in France and offers a quiet place for prayer and reflection. The grotto is a place of peace and quiet, surrounded by nature and offers a wonderful way to escape from everyday life and enjoy a moment of silence.

Fantastic valley for hiking

Coming from Höchstberg, a small sign on the mountain barn shows the way from above to the grotto. From below the Untergriesheimer Weir car park, steep stairs go up.

Coming from Höchstberg towards Bergscheuer. No signage from above either.

Footpath branches off about 500m after the Untergriesheim bike underpass in the direction of Herbolzheim directly from the main road, there are no signs to the grotto!!

beautiful but narrow path through the forest! Caution: stones, roots, wet!
