Two men are on the boar hunt. The one man (Balthaßer Rodechr) is undermined by the pig and comes to sit on it. At this moment, the second man tries to kill the pig with his spit, but he mortally wounds his hunting colleague.

The stone cross “Wilde Sau” is a stone memorial cross erected on a hill above the actual Rennsteig with the image of a hunter riding a sow, whom a hunting companion apparently tries to free from his uncomfortable situation by holding a spear.
This stone, set in Luther's birth year (1483), is the oldest dated stone on the Rennsteig.
