I assume the GPS is a few meters too far up the Kalkofenring - the photo was taken opposite on the dam... but still, that's not the "Isar" 😉

Frauenbründl Pilgrimage Church The Frauenbründl Pilgrimage Church, also called Marienbründl, is located between Bad Abbach and the Saalhaupt district and has a long history dating back to the 15th century. The history of Frauenbründl begins around 1700, when the former mercenary Georg Pfandstetter settled as a hermit near the five springs. He brought a Pietà from Umbria, Italy, and enshrined it in a shrine. The Baroque church we see today was originally built as a chapel between 1725 and 1726. Previously, a wooden field chapel stood on this site. Particularly noteworthy is a spring on the outside of the chancel, which is said to have special healing powers. As early as the 15th century, people with eye diseases made pilgrimages to this spring in the hope of healing. A legend tells of a nearly blind man who came to the spring, washed his eyes with the water, prayed before the shrine, and was then able to see again. This miracle established the pilgrimage tradition that continues to this day. The history of Frauenbründl is characterized by devotion and a desire to preserve it. After secularization, the church was saved from demolition by Baroness von Bechtoldsheim in 1821 and returned to the possession of the hermits in 1858. The later Bishop Georg Michael Wittmann regularly spent his retreats here between 1800 and 1832, which underlines the spiritual significance of the place. As early as the 1920s, Maximilian Hengge, pharmacist and chairman of the Abbach Historical Society, raved about the beauty of the location and surroundings of Frauenbründl in his "Guide to Abbach and the Surrounding Area": "The hermitage (...) is frequently visited by summer guests. The path to the "Marienbrünnl" or "Frauenbrünnl," which lies at the edge of a magnificent pine forest, is one of the most beautiful in the Abbach area in the late afternoon at sunset." The Candle Chapel was established after a fire in 1987. The large image of the Virgin Mary is a print by the French painter William Adolphe Bouguereau. Source: www.bad-abbach.de
