Hurkutstein

Very nice rest area 2 seats shop in a cool setting to marvel and linger.
A hermit once lived in the small cave

The Hurkutstein lies between the Waldschlösschen Academy and the Jägersteinen. Is signposted. Very idyllic location. Well worth the visit, especially with children who are amazed to hear the story.

Legend has it that a farmhand abandoned a child in the forest and, out of regret, became a hermit here.

Interesting stone formation with (more or less credible: D) history.

On the north-west face of the rock is a small man-made chamber, to which a ladder leads. On the small forecourt on this side, directly on the rock, there was a building that belonged to the hermitage. Several crosses and niches are visible on the rock. According to tradition, the hermit Hurkut, who comes from the Reinhausen monastery, lived in the hermitage.
Finds from the 13th and 14th centuries

An interesting rock. Worth seeing.
