The Seven Maidens are a rock formation of rock needles made of mass limestone in the Hönnetal north of Volkringhausen opposite Klusenstein Castle and a bridge over the Hönne. Its dismantling was prevented in 1920 by an exchange of land.
According to legend, they came into being in the following way: The seven daughters of a knight once made beautiful eyes for the Junker of Klusenstein Castle and wanted to conquer him for themselves. A witch gave them a magic potion that was supposed to make them a little taller, but they couldn't get enough of it. They grew and grew until they were huge and turned to stone.translated by•September 24, 2023
