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.

Geological exploration and legend station If you hike along the Triebisch through the Tharandter Forest, you will come across not only the small ponds but also a cave on a slope above the Jungfernteich. This was probably created by human hands. The cave consists of low-quartz porphyry. It is located above the biotope ponds on the Triebisch (Triebisch Lakes). https://www.erzgebirge-tourismus.de/
