This Lourdes Grotto is also a sign of solidarity between Catholics and Protestants in Dernbach: "Every Whit Monday, a Catholic service takes place at the Lourdes Grotto in Dernbach. The Protestant parish deliberately does not hold its own service on this day, but invites people to the service at the Lourdes Grotto."

Here, right on the path on the side of the hill, stands one of the Palatinate Forest Association's over 300 knight's stones. Its arrow points to the top right at the "Mayor's Stone". This stone contains a "small cave, on whose rock walls over 100 house marks [= a kind of signature or name seal] were carved between 1602 and 1634." Source (partly quoted verbatim): "Knight's Stones in the Palatinate Forest" by Walter Eitelmann, self-published by the Palatinate Forest Association, Neustadt/Wstr.
