There are two traditions regarding the naming of the rock formation:
One tells the documented story of the royal district forester Phillip Jakob Seel, who lived in Heltersberg. He is said to have fallen into the depths one night and sustained fatal injuries. This led to the rock formation being called "Seelfelsen" (See Rock) from then on.
According to the second legend, a man from Clausen was walking home one night with his young son. The father couldn't find one of the three passages through the rocks, got lost, and eventually fell into the depths. His son followed a faint light and finally reached Clausen, where he sought help. The father could only be recovered dead.
Since then, popular belief has it that the faint light the son saw that night was the soul of his deceased father. This event gave the rock formation its current name, "Seelenfelsen" (See Rock).
