Under the very rock, which forms a rock shelter, lived for a long time the hermit known as "the Falkenfels", from 1895 until his death in 1902.

A valiant man, he looked after the pigs of the commune of Hellert. The population esteemed him, considered him a holy man and took turns bringing him their midday meals.
