The Cellar Hill and a Cellar Hollow contain several 19th-century rock cellars. The earth and rock cellars are important ecological structural elements of nature conservation, but also symbols of local building tradition and stonemasonry. In addition, as artificially created caves, they bear witness to the geological conditions in the rocky landscape of the Fichtelgebirge. Rock cellars were of great importance for storing food, such as potatoes. They are mostly abandoned, partly dilapidated monuments of the agricultural landscape. Barely used cellars are well-known habitats for animals (winter quarters of bats) and small biotopes in near-natural surroundings.
