    On the northwest In front of the rock a small man-made chamber, to which a ladder leads. On the small forecourt on this side, directly on the rock, there was a building that belonged to the hermitage. Several crosses and niches are visible on the rock. According to tradition, the hermit Hurkut, who comes from the Reinhausen monastery, lived in the hermitage.
    Finds from the 13th and 14th centuries

    Really beautiful place in Reinhäuser Forest, full of history. The hermit Hurkut lived here and before him there was already a chapel in the rock.
