Here in the Wolfsbusch forest area, large boulders were formed into millstones in earlier centuries, probably 2000 years ago in the time of the Celts.

A legend tells... that dwarfs once lived in the crevices of the Kuckerell high up in the Wolfsbusch and made millstones there. They are said to have taken the finished millstones to Montenau at night and taken the food the Montenau residents had provided with them. One day, however, these dwarves are said to have fled the area, no one knows why. In their hurry, however, they forgot to take their treasure chest with them, which to this day lies hidden somewhere between the crevices in the rocks at the top of the Wolfsbusch.
