According to a folk story recorded by Johann Nepomuk Sepp, the Benediktenwand rests on four golden columns, and conceals countless treasures within it. According to the legend, a boy from Wackersberg lost his way and discovered a bubbling golden spring. A similar story is told about the Probstenwand in the local dialect: Back in the mists of time golden icicles were seen hanging in a crevice in the Probstenwand, and the people came from Munich; they came across glittering stones on the ground.
