    The legendary Hermann Rock towers up along the way. And this is where the special story comes into play. Knight Kuno once lived at Hellenstein Castle with his graceful daughter Berta. Berta von Hellenstein was courted for a long time by the noble knight Georg von Güssenburg. But all his attempts were in vain, because Berta loved Knight Hermann von Herwartstein... On a walk through the spring forest, the two finally came to a rock. From there, the two of them threw themselves into the depths, tightly embraced.

      Two aristocrats who were unhappily in love are said to have thrown themselves to their deaths from the Hermannsfelsen. At least that's what the legend says. The Hermannsfelsen itself is located by the sign in the game reserve.
