Again, no details are known about the creation of this small monument. According to a resident, the grotto is said to have been created around 1950 by Otto Grieshofer (of (Kalkgrubenstrasse 25) for his grandmother Veronika Grieshofer. The wayside shrine was added around 2000.
A fairly large, almost walkable, segment-arch covered, carved niche is in the adjacent conglomerate, and the arch at the front is made of concrete. In the back wall of the niche, there is a smaller niche with an iron grille, in which there used to be a plaster statue of Christ. Now the niche’s front is covered by a tabernacle shrine made of artificial stone, itself probably a former grave monument. A stone slab without an inscription is embedded on its shaft. In the tabernacle, there is a metal relief of the Virgin Mary.
