According to legend, Crown Princess Olga of Württemberg and her entourage hid at this spot during the revolutionary turmoil of 1848. This legend, however, has been disproven. What is true is that in 1868, the then district forester, Belzer, had an inscription carved into the rock face on the occasion of the queen's birthday: "God save Olga!" This festival was celebrated with music, performances by the Mainhardt Liederkranz (Mainhardt Choir), a celebratory poem by the teacher von Lachweiler, and with "crowds of visitors from the surrounding area."
