Here you see the legendary rock 'Hübichen-Stone'


The two high rock spikes were once part of a coral reef off the Iberg and are situated around 800m west of the Cave Experience Centre Iberger Stalactite Cave directly at the B 242.
The eagle on the rock has been put there in honour of Emperor William I.

From its small accessible tip a great view over the mountain town Bad Grund is offered.





... myths and fairytales

The Hübichen-Stone was home to dwarfs, gnomes and elves.

Their king was 'King Hübich', an old man of small statue with rough hair and a beard that reached down to his stomach.

Magic was in this beard of 'King Hübich'.
He wasn't particularly friendly towards people and so everybody who tried to climb the mountain was burnt into place.

Despite that, 'King Hübich' was some kind of patron saint for the city who helped the poor and needy.



... the Walpurgis festival

Always on the 30th of April, the Hübichen-Stone is home to thousand of visitors who celebrate the Walpurgis festival.
