    Tips

    The Hauburgstein is a striking stone formation made of black, crystalline primary rock with partially overhanging parts, sharp edges and cracks. Its height is 10 meters and its width is 6 meters.

    Historically, the terms Habernstein or Hühnerstein were also used. The etymology of the name is unclear. On the one hand, it could go back to the Hünerberg, but a derivation from Hauberg is also conceivable. Hauberg referred to a coppice forest made of oaks that was cut down every 20 years to obtain bark for tanning and firewood.

    According to a local legend, a purple hen with gold feathered chicks is said to live in the stone, which would suck the blood out of anyone who knocks against the stone.
