    Class sculptures of an Elwetritsch family, our local mythical creatures. They were created by Gust Espenschied and can be found in the Kurpark Dahn right next to the guest house.

      What the Bavarian has his Wolpertinger, the Palatinate has his Elwetritsche.

        "The Elwetritsch is a bird-like mythical creature that is reported in southwest Germany and especially in the Palatinate. The Elwetritsch is to be regarded as a local equivalent to mythical creatures from other regions, such as the Bavarian Wolpertinger or the Thuringian rattle buck." Wikipedia
        This creature was actually completely unknown to me until today...
