There is a cross not far from the beginning of the trail. It is set in memory of the tragic incident that occurred on this place on January 8, 1584. Prince Hans Ridda was waiting for his wedding with a peasant girl. He went hunting with a local count. They were attacked by a boar and prince died, defending the count. After this incident, the girl disappeared, it is believed that she committed suicide.

On these rocks, the ancient tribes of the Germans and Saxons, who lived here 2,000 years ago, conducted various religious rites.

In 782, a battle took place in the valley between the ancient Germanic tribes of Germans and the Franks under the leadership of Charles the Great. The Franks won and forcibly baptized the vanquished. After this, the rocks lost their meaning as a pagan place of worship. Now, around the rocks flows the stream "Blutbach" (Bloody stream), which reminds of those events.
