According to legend, the shallow cave in the rock (quartz-armed porphyry or rhyolite) was once much larger, and three fairies lived there. On a full moon night, a minstrel who had previously played at the fair in Hintergersdorf (spa town of Hartha) passed by. The three fairies had laid out laundry on the meadow to bleach. The musician picked up a lace cloth and took it with him. However, when he got home, instead of the cloth, he held a gray cobweb in his hand. Before sunrise, he returned the cobweb to its place, where it became a lace cloth again, just as the other laundry disappeared with the first rays of sunlight. Since then, the fairies have not been seen again, and the cave has become a shallow hole.

Until 1897, the hiking trail led through this rock tunnel

The legend of the ice worm warehouse: In 1862, the shareholders were discussing over a beer one evening whether Felsenkeller shares were crisis-proof. At a somewhat late hour, the banker entered the bar and spread a rumour among the boozy group that an ice worm was causing trouble, licking the ice off the barrels and spoiling the beer. A master tailor, also a shareholder, set off headlong towards Freital, woke the brewers from their sleep and demanded immediate payment of his shares. This story made the rounds in the area, caused much hilarity and became Felsenkeller's trademark. From then on, a winged dragon adorned the label... What a mess!

The story of the ice worm is on the information board.
