Schweiggers pilgrimage site: the Madonna in the tree

The so-called Moata near Siebenlinden is a popular pilgrimage site, which was built in 1892 on the spot where a farming family discovered a pine stump with the image of Our Lady of Mariazell while felling wood. The tree disc with the resin image of the Madonna is still on display here today.
