    Hiking

    The Marian Grotto in the Leitershofen Forest near the Froschlache pond on the Schlaugraben was built by Johann Heichele (* November 29, 1906, † November 9, 1997). Mr. Heichele was a very religious man and pilgrim.

    He lost many of his comrades during World War II. He resolved, if he returned from the war alive, to build a Marian grotto as a thank-you. He carried out this plan after his return home.

    May devotions were once held there regularly under the pastor of Leitershofen, Zimmermann.
