A legend tells us: A Christian virgin, fleeing from a pagan knight, saved herself with her donkey at this spot by daring a leap into the valley. The donkey's hoofprint remained. The knight converted to Christianity upon witnessing the miracle. The stone, weighing several hundred pounds, lay flat for years and was re-erected here by the local community of Trittenheim during the land consolidation project of 1971-73.

At the heights between Trittenheim and Klüsserath, the path leads past the Eselstrapp, also known simply as the "Hinkelstein," offering a magnificent view of the Moselle Valley. According to legend, this is where a maiden riding a mule escaped her pursuer by leaping into the valley below. The horse's hoofprint can still be seen on the large stone, a Celtic menhir.
