발트부르크‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 협곡

Since the floods in spring 2023, access to the ravine has been blocked by a wooden gate. Why the closure was never lifted is beyond me, as the path and bridge are now fully accessible again.

Somewhat hidden and inconspicuous, this grotto is hidden in the small forest.

Great ravine, then there's a bridge, at first you think you can't get there and then there are stairs, be careful when walking, they are a bit steep. Also be careful with the bridge, there is a beam missing.

The changes in nature become visible over the years. More or less water, fallen trees or new stones in the river. The forest above is beautifully covered with leaves in autumn.

Great, adventurous ravine. Entry via hell. And if you come to "hiking trail closed" just ignore it, otherwise you will miss the most beautiful and interesting part.

Great stepped path, but only accessible with good, sturdy shoes. Small children and especially prams unsuitable.

Path in the gorge below the "Stiller Bach" (Still Brook). This stream in the beautiful, wild ravine is called Hochtobelbach, outflow of the Rösslerweiher pond, and later flows into the Scherzach river in the Lauratal valley.

The Virgin Mary, who is depicted and venerated here, is that of Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by a large number of people every year, including many sick people who are hoping for a cure. The devotional image of Our Lady has become widespread - not only in France - Lourdes chapels and graves were built by believers everywhere. The ecclesiastical commemoration day "Our Lady in Lourdes" is on February 11th, this is the anniversary of the apparition of Mary (1858), when Our Lady appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto not far from Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of only 35. On December 8th (the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary) in 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI. The day of remembrance of the Lourdes Madonna is also World Day of the Sick.
