On the back of the Aschberg, in the immediate vicinity of the Aschberg summit (Kamenác), there is a defiant rock, sedate and broad in dark green spruce. An ancient Klingenthal legend is entwined around it, which reports that a crack in the rock opens on Maundy Thursday. For a child born on a Sunday, lying in a cradle made from Aschberg spruce wood and blessed with a smile of happiness.
The cave is full of treasures of gold, silver and precious stones and an inconspicuous and old miner's lamp. If he takes the treasure and reaches for the lamp, the cave closes itself forever and denies all mortals access.
But if he only reaches for the lamp and leaves the cave without the other treasures, then all the treasures of the earth are subject to him.
The legend was probably devised by a miner and can be read in detail.

The Aschbergwiege is not the highest point of the Aschberg, which is located about 130m in a southwesterly direction.
