The Geldkeller is located on the eastern slope directly at the castle rampart - a very striking rock formation. At the north foot there is a small cave, which gave the rock its name. A legend tells that in this cave on St. John's Day (three days after the summer solstice) a wall opens and gold is found in a secret cellar. In fact, on the morning of the summer solstice, the sun shines through a viewing slit into the cave and paints a golden spot of light on the inner wall of the cave entrance. At sunset, on the summer solstice, the sun shines directly through the entrance to the cave, giving the interior a golden glow.
Large boulders piled one on top of the other form two viewing windows above the cave entrance. One allows a view of the morning sun of spring and autumn, as well as the morning sun of the winter solstice and opposite the evening sun of the summer solstice.
The second viewing window is just to the east of the cave entrance. Here the sun appears at the winter solstice at the moment when it disappears behind the hill fort at Berggrad and at the evening sun in spring and autumn.
The Geldkeller is very easy to reach. A road leads to the Löbauer Berg. There is a parking lot between the two hilltops. From here you walk in the direction of the radio tower. Then follow the course of the ramparts until the path leads through the ramparts to a small rock in the east. This rock is the money cellar.
