Referred to as "Hermit's Cave" or "Kelpius Cave," this location was believed to serve as the entrance to the dwelling of Transylvanian scholar Johannes Kelpius. He held the belief that the world would come to an end in 1694, leading his followers from the "Society of the Women in the Wilderness" to this very spot.
