The hermitage on the Rochlitzer Berg was built in 1817 by Christian Gottlob Seidel, a quarry owner. Two rocks were connected by a wall, creating a small, chapel-like building. In the Romantic period, this place attracted many hikers and still serves as an idyllic rest stop today.

Small shelter where you can also camp. Directly with a parking area from which you can start the hike.
