Nice rest area on the way

The Mother of God depicted and venerated here is that of Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by many people every year, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Mother of God has become widespread - not only in France - and Lourdes chapels and grottos have been built by believers everywhere. The ecclesiastical memorial day "Our Lady in Lourdes" is February 11th, this is the anniversary of the Apparition of the Virgin Mary (1858), when Our Lady appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto very close to Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of just 35. She was canonized by Pope Pius XI on December 8, 1933 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary). The Day of the Lourdes Madonna is also World Day of the Sick.

The rest area could use a little love, but it serves its purpose... You can find out more about the Schiller Grotto in our video https://youtu.be/lZmrPv_SpwY?si=vaDJhlXP9oIIc2TC

One of the very few benches

Great, varied path with always new challenges

In the beginning it is a bit difficult to find the way after tree felling. A signpost is z. B. on a tree stump.

A visit to the lower cave of the Schiller grotto is also worthwhile. There is also some water flowing there.

Here you pass the Dreikaiser-Berge-Tour
