The rangers are very friendly. Dogs must, of course, be kept on a leash during the breeding season.

Under the very rock, which forms a rock shelter, lived for a long time the hermit known as "the Falkenfels", from 1895 until his death in 1902. There is no certainty about the origins of Edouard Hinbeer, nicknamed friendly by the population and in the archives the Waldbruder (brother of the forest). A valiant man, he looked after the pigs of the commune of Hellert. The population esteemed him, considered him a holy man and took turns bringing him their midday meals.
