Spille Rock, 9 meters high. It is located near the paraglider take-off point. (Spillberg). It is lost in the middle of the forest and is astonishing. One may wonder how it got there! Today, it also serves as a climbing wall, but its presence gave rise to a legend in ancient times:
"A spinner, Dame Berchta, lived here. As tradition dictated, the spinners had to interrupt the spinning between Christmas and the Three Wise Men, otherwise the sun's course would be disrupted by the spinning wheel. Creation risked eternal night.
The devil knew this and tried to distract Dame Berchta from this obligation.
He succeeded so well that God had to intervene to prevent the catastrophe. He sent lightning on Dame Berchta's house.
Only the spindle of the spinning wheel escaped, which was transformed into stone: the Spille Rock. "
