    Hiking

    Say 1: In the old days a huge giant lived here. When he had just gone to sleep, the prayer bell rang and disturbed his sleep. This made him so angry that he took a boulder and threw it at the church. But the big stone missed the target, because it fell about 300 m in front of the church and remained there.

    Say 2: On a hot summer day, God hit Donar so hard with his hammer in the clouds that a rock loosened and fell to the earth. This rock was named Sürkenstein.

    From Baring's "Saalechronik" from 1744:
