According to legend, at the end of the 19th century the Aying village shepherd of that time, the "Much", together with his sheep entrusted to him, sought protection under an ancient, large beech tree because of a thunderstorm. This place was popular because it has a spring where you could refresh yourself. For no apparent reason, all of the sheep suddenly ran in the same direction. The Much found her nearby in what was then a young wood. Minutes later, lightning struck the ancient beech tree and completely destroyed it. The Much would probably not have survived if he had stayed at the old location. Overwhelmed by the event, the Much knelt down and thanked God for his salvation. After that he was changed, taciturn and thoughtful. Weeks later he was found dead where he thanked him for his rescue, dressed in his Sunday suit. What and how he died was never clarified.
Here was the beech tree where the lightning struck. The grotto is in a wooden chapel.
