The legend of the hermit Michel (or "Eremit Michel" in German) is linked to the area around Consdorf in Luxembourg. According to local folklore, Michel lived as a hermit in one of the rock formations in the region, specifically near the rock formation called "Eremitage" (hermitage).

The Eremitage is an impressive rock formation located between the villages of Consdorf and Berdorf. The story goes that Michel had retreated to these rocks to live a life of prayer and meditation, far from the connections of the world.

However, there are several versions of the legend, and the exact details may depend on the source of the narration. For example, some stories say that Michel built a hermitage or small shrine in the rocks where he spent his days in contemplation.

For many visitors and hikers exploring the rock formations of Mullerthal, the legend of Eremit Michel adds an extra layer of mystery and history to the already magical landscape. Although there is little documentation of Michel's life, his story remains alive in local folklore and adds to the charm of the region.
