The striking biotite - granite rocks in the Flasergranitoidzone are vertically and horizontally into blocks divided by frost weathering ( Wollsackverwitterung ). The rock groups Wildfrauhaus, Lindenkopf and the Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig Stein belong to the natural monument. The latter was dedicated to the Grand Duke of Hessen-Darmstadt Ernst Ludwig and bears the inscription: "To the patron of the Odenwald Club on the 25th anniversary of the government March 14, 1917". Down the slope there is a block heap , which is popularly known as the “Little Rock Sea”. Among the rocks grow beech trees , as well as individual pine trees , oak trees and hanging birches .
Legend of the Wildfrauhaus
An Odenwald legend has grown up around the “wild woman's house” . She tells that two wild people, a man and a woman, lived in a cave under a large rock near Lützelbach. You are said to have cured a lot of sick people. When the man was caught, the woman called after him: "Say everything, say everything, just not what the wild ointments are for." (With ointment, the medicinal plant sage is meant here).
