At the edge of the forest after the Teufelstalbrücke, a small climb leads over a wooden bridge to the "Century Stone".
According to legend, anyone who circles this stone three times will live to be over 100 years old 😉.

After the First World War, probably in 1918, the two people from Reichenbach, Emil Völkel and Reinhold Kornmann, set this stone. They are said to have been lumberjacks and nature lovers.
On its front is the saying:

"Whoever turns this stone three times,
he will be over a hundred years old.”

On the back there is also a saying which refers to the front, but it is difficult to read.

According to tradition, both of them set this stone out of frustration about the flood of monuments after the First World War. Other sources say it was just a whim.
