This was created as part of a Stations of the Cross at St. Bartholomew's Church, but the Stations of the Cross were never completed. The rock niche was chosen at the time to recreate the tomb of Jesus. Anyone looking through the bars into the tiny grotto will see a stone tomb surrounded by flower baskets.

The grotto was inaugurated in 1954. Until the end of the 1960s, a procession to the grotto took place every year on May 1st and August 15th. Beautifully designed and inviting place. There is more information about the history on the board on site. Definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful rocky entrance along the way. However, nobody was inside 😁

There has been a Mariengrotte here since 1954. Chaplain Böß had the idea for this in 1953. A procession to the grotto takes place here every year on the Assumption Day. Nice and neat :-)

Shortly before the puppies are born, the pregnant she-wolf looks for a cave in which she gives birth to her offspring and houses them for protection. A wide variety of loopholes are useful for this, such as deep riverbank hollows, cavities under fallen trees or rock overhangs, hollow tree trunks, a gap between rocks and so on. Sometimes wolves also use abandoned burrows of other animals such as bear caves or beaver dams. Often caves have been used by wolves for generations. A cave in Jasper National Park was used eight times in 15 years. Another on Ellesmere Island may be even older. Bones up to 783 years old have been found in it. In an ordinary wolf cave, the birth chamber is at the end of a tunnel that can be up to 5 meters long in soft earth. The cave itself is often slightly elevated from the rest of the tunnel. The birth chamber has a diameter of about 90cm and is about 60cm high. The cave entrance has a width of about 50cm to 70cm and a height of about 38cm to 50cm. Often the cave is located near a water source and at an elevated place so that the wolf can spot approaching enemies early. The alpha male stays outside the cave for protection and often plays the decoy to lure approaching predators such as bears and eagles away from the cave, whose prey can be a very young puppy. Although wolves often defend their den against wild predators, they will usually run away when humans approach them. Over the years, wolves change their burrows and relocate with their offspring, covering a distance of more than 1.6km. This happens either due to a parasitic infection of the cave or disturbance from humans or other animals.

The position of the highlight is not correct. An inconspicuous small tunnel at the side of the road.
