Just outside Waldsassen, near the Mitterhof monastery estate, lies the Lourdes Grotto – an idyllic place of peace and prayer. It was built after the model of the famous Grotto of Massabielle in Lourdes, France, and solemnly consecrated on October 29, 1905. The initiator of the construction was the Waldsassen merchant's wife Anna Rockstroh, who felt a particular devotion to the veneration of Mary. The grotto is located directly on the well-developed hiking trail No. 8 and is easily accessible from Waldsassen on foot or by bicycle. Surrounded by forest and nature, it invites visitors to pause and enjoy the special atmosphere. Services and masses are held here several times a year, and it is also a popular place for personal reflection and quiet prayer. Today, the Lourdes Grotto is one of the most beautiful religious excursion destinations in the Stiftland region and impressively combines history, nature, and spirituality.
