    Hiking

    According to legend, an altar and a pulpit once stood here. It is said that a boy, influenced by a sermon he had heard on Psalm 119:33, prayed aloud here that he wished to become a preacher.

    Count Wilhelm von Wallenstein, upon hearing of this, allowed him to study theology.

    Later, on the occasion of a hunt, the boy delivered a trial sermon on that very psalm to his patron at this very spot.

    Since then, the place has been called "Preacher's Chair."
