On the southeastern slope of the Rotenkopf near St. Ingbert, towards the forest valley and also towards the former baroque imperial Esebeck pleasure seat Geiersnest, there is the so-called "Hääreloch" (Heidenloch), a low, maybe thirty meters long, quite hidden behind stones and bushes rock cave. The pagans are said to have lived there in ancient times. They rolled a mighty boulder in front of the entrance to protect them from wild animals and pursuers, and it still lies there today.
For fuel they had a chimney, a square shaft, hewn into the ceiling, which they could close off with a precisely fitting stone in an emergency. This chimney was just above the forecourt that served as the kitchen and behind it there was a cave with a narrow entrance its widely ramified corridors, one of which is said to have even led as far as Kirkel and the pagans could feel so safe in it. They were harmless people, it seems. And even after their death, their souls remained in the cave. As good spirits, like the elves, they would visit the neighboring villagers at night, especially Hassel and probably also the Rohrbachers, and do the unfinished work, so that there was nothing left to do in the morning. But now the heathen spirits have been absent for a long time and people have to do their work themselves.
Even now, the people still know about the many passages in the "Hääreloch" and the visitor should only be able to find the exit safely if he fastens a long thread to the entrance of the cave, which he keeps in his hand in order to use it grope back.
