In the middle of the night, between Wednesday and Thursday, October 10-11, the Black Madonna arrived at the contemplative convent "Kinderalm" of the Sisters of Bethlehem, located high in the mountains. The uphill climb started from St. Veit in Pongau. What followed next was a laborious ride up the hill, which became more difficult due to the driving rain, the fallen leaves on the road surface, the darkness of the deep night, and the poor condition of the road.
