High up where the last spruces of the "Hauenstein"-forest would stands, a rock cave, the so-called Klausnerloch, next to which a clear source bubbles, opens in almost inaccessible place to the curt Siliar . At the moment as an emperor Max, the last knight, the crown of the German empire summer's evening applied, one climbed on to the castle "Hauenstein", a pilgrim tapped to the gate and asked for the of the castle.
In a long secret discussion the stranger entrusted himself to the lord of the castle. He then put his weapon dress in the castle chapel and this occupied gown as gift with precious stones down and increased in the next morning, accompanied by his guest, upward to that rock cave at which work people of the "Hauensteiners" directly built an heremitage for him. In this unworldly solitude, as of now the mysterious stranger from whose names and descent apart from the "Hauensteiner" nobody must and learned lived. Soon, well, the hermit was friend with the Schlern witsches, who lived in the near rock ravines, understood the language of the animals and must, the secret strengths of nature to be of use for the plants, herbs and mosses the welfare of the ailing people. When the plague fell to the country once, the hermit came out from the hermitage, got off to the valley and scared the black death of many a sickbed away.
A shiny knight retinue climbed the narrow path to the hermitage upward one day. Emperor Max, who stuck by Innsbruck Hof just again had heard of the hermit at the Schlern and paid a visit him. When the prince saw the hermit he recognized one of the great in it, his empire waved the retinue to stay behind and entered the poor hermitage to dialogue lasting several hours. Before the farewell the emperor asked the hermit insistently to return to the world anyway. It, the emperor, needs the time of the wise piece of advice of its friend more urgently than ever in the bad needs. But the hermit could not be moved to leave his solitude. With tears in his eyes Max goes and did not reveal to any man secret of the heremit of the Sciliar. Years were last; the "Klausners" head had bent the age, its witches of a day brought it the news there that done the last breath to emperor Max in a distant town, Anno 1519. Mourning full the hermit of the Sciliar commemorated its home gone friend and followed him in the death after few days. Unfortunately, hermitage and band remained left; only the evening wind played with the little bell in the turret and carried out of the high tones to the country. When after many years the hermitage was destroyed and burned by many soldiers, the witches dug the little silver bell from the rubble and carried on the Sciliar top up it, at bad thunderstorms with where the bell voice still often resounds.
