There is a legend on the Dörnberg, which indicates the end of the Germanic religion and the beginning of the Christian religion in this region.

A short, narrow path leads down to the Wichtel Church. In front of it is an information board on which, among other things, the legend is read, how the rock got its name. From there it goes up a few more steps.
