Top 6 Caves プフライムトでの

The first stop on the Tanzacker circular trail. Fascinating and so beautiful to look at!

Now very tidy, with no rubbish and a renovated gate. Thanks to the owner for the renovation.

In the basement of the St. Laurentius Chapel next to the Church of St. Ulrich in Schwarzach is the so-called "Brünnl" with a Lourdes grotto. This was built in 1894. The pilgrimage dates back to 1726. The blind Georg Rottmayr from Schwarzach regained his sight that year when he washed his eyes with the well water and then prayed and worshipped in the church. The Church of St. Ulrich already contained the miraculous image of the Holy Mother of God, which now stands on the main altar. This gave rise to the pilgrimage, which flourished from 1728 onwards. From 1791 onwards the well was expanded and converted into a Lourdes grotto and consecrated in 1794. After secularization in 1803, the pilgrimage became quieter and with the erection of the Iron Curtain during the two world wars it slowly died down. Today, August 15th and the Sunday after October 7th are still pilgrimage days. Schwarzach is located on the Bohemian-Bavarian Brünnl pilgrimage route, which also includes the pilgrimage site "Dobrá Voda" near Pocinovice, the twin town of Schwarzach b. Nabburg.

Italian railway workers built this grotto in honor of the Holy Mother of God directly on the railway line.

A small grotto built by railway workers

You should take a look, the small grotto is part of the Tanzacker circular route. It was built in the steep rocky slope by Italian railway construction workers around 1904 during the construction of the "Royal Bavarian State Railway". There is a figure of the Lourdes Madonna in it. Also known as “Bräugrotte”.

The chapel of St. Laurentius is located east of the St. Ulrich church in Schwarzach near Nabburg. The Brünnl Grotto is located in the basement. On the side wall there is a votive painting on a semicircular wooden board depicting the church and chapel from the 18th century. Over a small climb, the Brünnlsteig, you reach the chapel with the grotto, which is well worth seeing. Unfortunately, I think the Brünnl with the healing water has dried up.

Always a special highlight when you are in the area
