Glonn - grotto near the Bavarian village of Glonn

On several trips through Germany and Bavaria I've often noticed the roadside icons often depicting Jesus on the Cross or the Virgin Mary. On a recent trip to Munich with a friend, we came across this grotto near the village of Glonn in a secluded spot on a hillside path leading down to the path.

Like many Bavarian icons and statues, it's not clear to me why there should be a depiction of the Virgin at this spot - but there she is!
