The Elf Grotto is a hollow path that was created around 50,000 years ago by volcanic activity. The lava pushed itself from the surrounding volcanoes into the Elbesbach valley.

The grotto is also called the cheese grotto. This will not surprise you, because the stones look like stacked cheese wheels.
