According to the sign at the site, it is probably just a legend that a nun who had escaped from the Seußlitz monastery met her death here in the early 16th century. Why this happened in the middle of the forest is not explained and it is a simple stone without an inscription.

Located in the beautiful Golkwald forest,
the Nonnenstein (Nun Stone) features a bench.

Probably from the early 16th century,
legend: a nun who escaped from the Seusslitz monastery found her death here.
