Hiking
In 1892, Anton Kohl came to Dietfurt as parish priest. On his initiative, the Beautification Association was founded that same year, which immediately began creating hiking trails on the Kreuzberg. That same year, Kohl also initiated the construction of the Lourdes Grotto and designed the plan himself.
The necessary tuff stones were brought from the Holnstein im Labertal area by horse-drawn carts. The construction of the grotto was primarily carried out by the parish priest at the time, Richard Hofmaier. His descendants continue to maintain the beautiful complex to this day.
