For more than 30 years, an Allgäu has been living here alone in the forest. A strange place in the shadow of the forest, many huts and places of worship along the rear Gutnach. They call him the forest man or the hermit of Baumgärtle. In autumn and winter mostly without any contact to the outside world. He lives without electricity and water, built 11 Marianas and 35 wooden huts.

The hermit died in 2020. A large part of its Mariental is still preserved.
