On the Pfennigfelsen (895 meters) there is a small movable door behind which hikers can insert coins. According to legend, they always come back healthy to this place.

Great idea and if it helps, the coin has paid off. The "money box" is located behind the hinge.

Anyone who deposits a coin here should return to this place healthy again.
A door is attached to the small stone in the rock and has a hinge, which you can pull forward to put your coin in.

The rock is relatively easy to climb, but caution is advised. At the top there is a beautiful view of the surrounding area and Waldmünchen.

It is said: "If you put a penny in the casket in the rock, you will return healthy to this place". So don't forget to pocket a penny/cent...😏

Donations are overflowing. The money is rolling in. A creative idea for the benefit of the Furth im Wald mountain rescue service.
