Simply referred to as a "chapel" in the komoot system, the Virgin Mary depicted and venerated in this artificial grotto is the Virgin Mary of Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited annually by large numbers of people, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Virgin Mary has become widespread – not only in France – with believers building Lourdes chapels and grottos everywhere. The church feast day of "Our Lady of Lourdes" is February 11th, the anniversary of the Marian apparition (1858), when the Virgin Mary appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto very close to Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of just 35. On December 8, 1933 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary), she was canonized by Pope Pius XI. The feast day of the Madonna of Lourdes is also World Day of the Sick.

Several paths lead around the rocks. At the foot there are some cave dwellings - from the top you can enjoy a fantastic view over the valley and on the Dabo rock. Incidentally, not only falcons breed here, but according to the information sign even eagle owls.
