The artificial grotto was designed by the Swiss-Portuguese architect Ernesto Korrodi at the beginning of the 20th century and features stone walls, trickling water, stalactite-like dripstones, and a small waterfall. The complex is a photo opportunity par excellence. It is located on a hill next to the church, surrounded by numerous beautiful, well-tended flowerbeds. At the top, an octagonal wooden pavilion awaits, offering a magnificent view of the entire area. Like the railings of the winding access paths, the beautiful little hut is constructed of woven wooden branches.

As in all pilgrimage sites in the world, a souvenir shop with all kinds of souvenirs and kitsch is a must.

Nice place, you can enjoy the whole surrounding area 👍

Once the cog railway arrives at the top station, passengers disembark. Immediately afterwards, you can see how a narrow pipe is fed into a funnel on the carriage, which is then filled with water. This increases the weight of the carriage, making it easier to pull the other carriage up at the bottom station.
