“The veneration of Mary in its various forms is part of Catholic piety. It is impossible to imagine the life of the Church without the rosary, without the Marian month of May, without the Marian feasts and without the numerous depictions of Mary.” (Julius Cardinal Döpfner, * 1913 + 1976)

The slope slide is also a geotope, further information on this from the Bavarian Environmental Atlas: "Steep slope in the Isar valley of Niederviehbach" The erosional slope on the southern edge of the Isartaltalt has a variety of geomorphological individual forms: e.g. B. deeply cut notched valleys of side streams, numerous landslides, spring horizons e.g. T. with limestone tuff formation and alluvial fans. The slope lies in the northern gravel. The source horizons are bound to intermediate limnic freshwater layers.” https://www.umweltatlas.bayern.de/standortauskunft/rest/reporting/sb_geotope/generate?additionallayerfieldvalue=279R001

When you arrive on the slope, a beautiful path leads mostly along the edge of the slope towards the west up to the level of Hüttenkofen with the transition to the Landshuter Höhenweg. On the first section there are also some information boards of the nature trail Niederviehbach with interesting information about the FFH protected slope, the local flora and fauna as well as the agriculture. Very interesting! From the Hangleite you have beautiful views of the Isar floodplains and the places north of the Isar, especially in winter when the trees are defoliated.

At the crossroads in the forest there is a beautifully decorated little Marein chapel. They are wonderfully decorated depending on the season. A beautiful Christ Way Cross is right next to it. A small bench is in front of it. It invites you to pause and meditate.
