The beautiful Mariengrotte (Grotto of the Virgin Mary) with the Albach waterfall is certainly one of the highlights of the 11th stage of the Felsenweg (Rock Trail).

In the immediate vicinity of the Mariengrotte (Grotto of St. Mary) we find this beautiful waterfall of the Albach River. A truly worthwhile photo opportunity.

The stream is mainly formed from the wastewater from the Bitburg sewage treatment plant. Odor nuisance cannot be ruled out under certain circumstances.
