You can try burying your head in the stone - will it help?

The so-called "headache stone", a sloping stone slab with a hemispherical indentation.

According to popular legend, St. Wolfgang rested here. He is said to have laid his weary head to rest on this stone. When he rose again, the stone had a visible dent.

With severe headaches, many people still go to the headache stone in the hope of being relieved of this pain and lay their heads in the almost vertical bowl close to the ground, just like Saint Wolfgang did back then. Alleviation of the suffering should be observed after a short time.

In order not to have to lie on the forest floor, there is now a wooden cot in front of the headache stone.
