    Large blocks of stone can be seen again and again in the middle of the forest.

      The boulders partly form caves, the terrifying Pan Dietrich is said to be up to mischief here at night.
      On the right-hand side of the path between Mönchswalde and Wilthen is a mountain covered with coniferous wood, which is called Pan-Dietrich. That is what he is called after a wild robber baron who plied his trade there in the times of the law of the fist, oppressed the area from his castle, indulged in highway robbery on weekdays and hunted on Sundays and public holidays, cruelly treating the game Death rushed and the farmers' fields were devastated. In life everything went as he wished, but in death God's punishment met him. For he is condemned to eternity to go about as a night hunter in spring and autumn. From his ruined castle, which now consists only of a mass of stones thrown together in a circle, the noisy hunting party rises, circles a few miles, and disappears into the mountain at dawn. St. Bonifacius, who often in vain warns the knight to give up his wild life, strides ahead of the procession. But death rides behind, a skeleton of legs on a great owl. Its appearance is said to announce war, plague, death, undergrowth or other misfortunes.
