There is something mystical about this place in autumn and winter.

The legend tells of a dishonest journeyman who was employed in the then Hohenaschau iron works a long time ago. From there he regularly stole nails and pieces of iron and hid them in a crevice on the way so that he could sell them when the time came. However, the thief was caught and followed one day after work. He was still seen getting into the rock niche, when the pursuers approached, instead of the thief, a large black dog with red glowing eyes appeared and chased away the pursuers. The journeymen reported that they met the devil on their way, and from that day on the dishonest thief was never seen again. Later, a small chapel was built at the Felsenniesche to protect hikers, and popular belief still claims that this place in Aschau im Chiemgau is haunted.
