Duchess Mauritia Febronia of Bavaria (1652-1706) bequeathed a replica of the Altötting image to Christoph Imperial Count von Muggenthal, Lord of Bedernau. In 1721, he had the image of the Mother of God, highly venerated by the Duchess, placed in a chapel in his orchards, today known as Baumgärtle. Starting in 1726, a church and monastery were built, where Franciscans lived and supervised the pilgrimage. The pilgrimage flourished until the beginning of the 19th century. During the secularization of 1803, the monastery was closed; the church was sold for demolition in 1827. All that remained was the Chapel of Grace with the image of grace. Nevertheless, pilgrims continued to come to Baumgärtle. Several attempts were made to reestablish a monastery there. In 1871, the Missionaries of the Precious Blood received permission from Bishop Pancras of Augsburg to settle in Baumgärtle. In 1882/83, a new pilgrimage church was built and consecrated under the title "Presentation of Mary" (patronage feast on November 21). After 1945, the flow of visitors and pilgrims to Baumgärtle soon increased again. In 1949, the missionaries introduced the celebration of Fatima Day on the 13th of every month, which draws numerous believers.

Just to watch the storks in their busy activity

The Schnerzhofer pond was bought by the Schöffel family, a textile entrepreneur, and is used for pond farming. The pond is occasionally drained in winter. In summer, you can swim in the pond. There is also a small lawn with a toilet and a bathing jetty on the north bank. Despite the overflow gap being rebuilt in 2008 for half a million euros, the floodwaters washed over the top of the pond in June 2024.

If you're already in the area, definitely include it in your tour. Fantastic, low-traffic area.

If you are coming from Tussenhausen, just don't drive up the mountain road. It lives up to its name. The further course of the cycle path towards Markt Wald is also not recommended. The terrain is quite rough

Idyllic pond, today shortly before noon in still light fog
