Hiking

maiden seat". This is a cavity in a rock formation that looks like a chair or seat. On the information board you can read that the castle lady Adelheid donated a large sum for the Kalchreuth church. This angered the devil so much that he wanted to hit her with a boulder. Adelheit, however, clasped his hands in prayer so that only a piece of the rock broke free. According to legend, when virgins sit down in the rock cavity, they find a man in the same year.

Built for virgins: If a virgin sits down in this rock grotto, she will be found by a man in the same year - or something like that is said. The sandstone seat is already very badly scuffed - but so far none have been found.
