The Waldbrudershütte is known by a rock image, which represents a standing figure, but is now badly damaged. Probably the representation is of Celtic origin. The name "Waldbrudershütte" probably derives from a local legend in which a hermit should have lived there.

According to the information board on site, the rock carving may have represented the prophet Elijah from the Bible who was fed by ravens and probably dates from the 13th century.
The image is barely recognizable, but there are replicas in two local history museums.
