At this point it is explained how the dream loop "Murscher Eselsche" got its name. With a little imagination, you can see a donkey in the rock formation opposite the bench.

Jakob Kneip also used the slate rock as a dramatic setting in his novel “Hampit the Hunter”:

One day I found a deer in a snare on the Kellersberg and I lay in wait in the bushes to watch the snare setter. Then, just as it was getting dark, the miller came up; He seems completely unconcerned, walks towards the noose and wants to release his prey. I could easily have sent a bullet over to him from my hiding place. Who would have wanted to accuse me of that? But I was reluctant to shoot him in the back. I wanted to approach him openly, and I saw that there was no danger to me because he had come without a rifle. Then I came out of my hiding place and called to him, and when the miller jumped up in fright, he saw the barrel of my gun pointed at him and recognized me. At first he stood transfixed, as if he had been paralyzed by shock. But suddenly he gave a contemptuous laugh and asked: “Are you going to shoot me like a hare? I wouldn't have believed you could do that. If you are a good man, let us wrestle together: man against man; and if you are the stronger one, then she is yours, Marie.” “She may go to hell with you, Marie, but I am not a coward!” I shouted, throwing my rifle behind me and lunging at him. And now it was a struggle of life and death between us. The miller continued to back away; behind him I saw the abyss yawning beneath the Kellersley; But he, who fought with his back to the rock face, did not see the danger. I had already pushed him to the edge, and then, at an opportune moment, I managed to break away from him and give him such a push that he fell backwards over the Ley into the depths...

Did the miller survive? You can find out about this in the local novel HAMPIT THE HUNTER, which the Morshausen writer Jakob Kneip wrote in 1927. We erected a monument to the hunter Hampit. He - or rather it - is standing here next to the bench. Source: Text information board

From the figure "Hampid the hunter" you have a narrow beautiful view of the rock formation of the Mursch donkey.
