The legend of the witch stone

From my childhood days

Known from my mother,

I am familiar with the legend

The legend of the "witch stone".

Take middle, castle, skins

And aura you to the circle,

In the center the spot

The legend knows about it.

Do you want to get to know her

So listen to my word

"Wegscheide" is what you call it,

Four villages border there.

Here was years and days ago

The stone is still gray with age,

To which the legend closes,

The saga of the "witch stone".

A spinning wheel and a goat's foot

He was chiseled:

So what's the point?

I once asked my mother.

She said: A girl of skins,

As it was once the custom

Went with the spinner

Almost a year

So again one evening

A terrible weather

The rain came down hard

The night was pitch black.

So with Bas and Cousin

You just rest for the night,

In this dog weather

Don't go home anymore.

But she did deny this

I have to go home! She spoke clearly

And when I have to ride home

Even on a billy goat.

Your spinning wheel under your arm

She went through night and horror

And free from any harassment

For furs to home.

However, as dawn is dawn

And she's not at home yet

one was full of worries

Went out on a search.

And came in the light of day

And found at dawn

All here at this point

The girl rigid and dead.

Wegscheid to Burgsinn, Mittelinn, Aura and Fellen. A short breather possible.

Legend has it that here on the Walpurgis Night from 1st to 2nd May witches and ghosts were up to mischief.
