Behind the Loreto Monastery is a hillside forest, which contains a Lourdes Grotto, a dilapidated chapel, fourteen Stations of the Cross and a well-maintained cemetery for the Sisters of the Monastery. The Way of the Cross is part of the total tradition of the Christian Easter. It is an imitation of the agony of Christ from the palace of the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate to the hill Golgotha, the place of his execution.

In the Roman Catholic tradition, it has also been a religious exercise since the fifteenth century, which takes place on Good Friday, among other things. During the Way of the Cross, the faithful pass through fourteen so-called stations of the cross in prayer and commemoration.
