Top 9 Caves 슈반도르프

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.

Exciting hole, unfortunately very overgrown in summer

The brewing tradition is also related to the Naab. The numerous inns from the town entrance at the Naab Bridge to the Upper Gate needed space for storage and every winter blocks of ice were sawn out of the frozen Naab and brought to the cellars by cart so that the temperature of the cellar for the bottom-fermented beer did not exceed nine in the summer degrees rose.

Since autumn 2014, one of the beer cellars has been used as a music and cabaret stage, Keller No 10. The aim is to establish a cabaret stage that will enable cultural workers to stage performances in the areas of music, theater and cabaret in general bring. On the one hand, this creates an attractive performance opportunity and, on the other hand, closes a large cultural gap in the city of Burglengenfeld.
