Lantern walk to the Lourdes Grotto in Marbach

An easy walk along 14 Stations of the Cross takes you from the church to the grotto in about 15 minutes. The path from the Steiglenstrasse junction to the grotto is illuminated every evening during Advent with lanterns and atmospheric candlelight. The Marbach Lourdes Grotto on the Steiglenbach is quiet and idyllic. It was built in 1917 as a replica of the famous pilgrimage site of Lourdes, where in 1858 Our Lady appeared 18 times to the girl Bernadette Soubirous. It is a much visited and much appreciated place of strength, where silent worshippers can find peace and rest throughout the week.

On the 1st Sunday of Advent, the lantern path is opened, framed by advent sounds of the Harmoniemusik Marbach and illuminated daily until Epiphany, January 6, 2023.
