    Say from the wild and romantic Elbbachtal about the "three thick stones":
    The legend tells of the Hildburg on the Elkenrother side of the Elbe stream. The knight's wife was expelled here and had to live by the stream. As she washed, she put her hand on one of the stones, which gave way and showed her handprint. After this sign, the knight who was believed to be lost came back and brought his wife back to the castle. To this day, notches can be seen in one of the stones, which are interpreted as the imprints.

        Our ancestors had it with the stones. Where there are stones there are legends about witches or devils or strange stories.
