The lovingly designed wayside shrines, wayside crosses and stone altars blend harmoniously into the idyllic landscape. The trail heads south across meadows and fields to the Way of the Cross in Heinberg, which was probably built around 1828. You then head north again with a view of the parish church of Alberndorf and enter the valley of the Bürstenbach stream. The path leads past a tepee village and a short time later you reach the Mariengrotte, a rock grotto that was built in 1984. A few benches line this devotional spot, which is a popular resting place. A steep path leads back to the village centre in just a few minutes.
