Plenty of benches invite you to relax. There's also a small children's playground. The kiosk was closed during our visit.

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.

Beautiful and wildly romantic, too bad there's no waterfall because of the drought...can someone turn on the tap? 😉
