After no sandstone was mined at this point, the terrain cut during the Thirty Years' War and the Napoleonic campaigns served the population as a hiding place or the military as a camp.
In addition, the wild and romantic place became a popular destination for the society of the 18th and 19th centuries, especially the inhabitants of Obernzenner castles and their guests.
Numerous inscriptions carved into the stone walls, up to five meters high, are reminiscent of former visitors and events.
