According to legend, the rock on which the cross stands was thrown from the Jainzenberg into the Traun by the devil. Satan wanted to dam the Traun and drown the pious people of Ischl. After he had already thrown the first chunk into the Traun, the Ave bell rang from the Church of St. Nicholas. This broke Satan's power and he had to leave.

Investigations by the geologist Dr. Harald Lobitzer, however, revealed that this striking boulder is not a block from the Plassen limestone of the Jainzen but rather a glacial “boulder” made from Dachstein reef limestone. It probably came to our region from the Dachstein area on the back of an ice stream from the Traun glacier during the last ice age.
