...the Michaels-Klause, also known in the region as Michaels- or Lourdes-Grotte. Michael Schnellinger, born in Feldwies in 1871, is considered the discoverer of this geological formation, which at first glance suggests the entrance to a rock cave (excerpt from: https://www.traunsteiner-tagblatt.de/das-traunsteiner-tagblatt/chiemgau-blaetter/chiemgau-blaetter-2024_ausgabe,-die-michaelsgrotte-fasziniert-seit-120-jahren-_chid,2286.html )

According to legend, three wild girls lived in Hölloch on Engelstein: Williberga, Hatzinga and Angela. They had stretched a rope from one peak to the other, on which they danced and sang. They kept a treasure in an iron chest guarded by a snake, which had the key to the chest in its mouth, and a large black dog with fiery eyes. They also owned a black stallion with a white blaze that grazed in the meadows around Pattenberg at night, and a rooster that the farmers heard crowing during the harvest. The young women were not squeamish and are said to have committed some outrages... So be careful 😉

The Mariengrotte and the small, cozy forest chapel are only a few meters away from the hiking trail. You should definitely watch it and maybe linger for a few minutes. There is also fresh forest air.
