On the old path from Raabs to Modsiedl (Modsiedlsteig) you can find this legendary torture in a field on the right up the embankment.

"The Fat Martyr, as it is popularly called, has given rise to legends and speculations because of its appearance: a (sinful) person or priest is said to be walled up in it, the 'hacker', an old woman who chops wood fiery man and strange light phenomena appear there like ghosts."
