The Rhönpaulushöhle, also Baierhöhle, is a piece below the Baiergipfel. In this crevasse, the robber of the Rhön, who is now marketed as a tourist Robin Hood of the Rhön, have hidden. The Rhönpaulus, about which there are many legends, was born in Weilar. He lived from 1736 to 1780. His robber life found an end at the place of execution at Wiesenthal am Galgen.
Another, attributed to the Rhönpaulus cave is located near Dermbach on the southern edge of the nature reserve Ibengarten on the southwest slope of the Neuberg.

the path to the cave is steep, slippery and dangerous. Caution!
