The Mother of God Mary has her place in a niche in the rock. The burning candles and the fresh flowers are evidence of the many pilgrims who still go up to Richelsley today to find peace, comfort and new courage in the silence. On September 12, 1894, the image of the Madonna was erected by the community on the occasion of Pastor Arnoldy's silver jubilee as a priest. On a plaque on a huge old beech tree in front of the grotto you can read "Here lives peace". Beautiful benches from the Eifelverein Kalterherberg invite you to take a rest.
