    "In the caves of the Wildweiberhäuschens above Langenaubach, the" Wild Women "used to live a long time ago, often sitting in front of the entrance, combing their long golden hair and singing beautiful songs that were good and helpful to all good people On the slope of the Fuchskaute lived a poor but righteous shepherd, to whom they were specially weighed, often came to him, baked him good bread, that he never needed to be hungry and showed him the healing herbs for the sick sheep, and many hard-working people even helped with the harvest Once a busy, respectable girl lived in the village When this wedding took place, the forming bodies invited themselves to the feast and presented a bundle of spun flax as a wedding gift before the bride's departure The gift seemed far too small for the other guests, but the bride thanked her warmly and kept the flax well that the fibers of the flax were spun out of pure gold and silver, and precious pearls were woven in ...

      ... evil and lazy people, on the other hand, were punished by the Wild Women. A farmer from the village had learned this, who had stolen a shirt from the laundry they had spread out to bleach and dry at the stream below the rock. At midnight they came to his house, caused a great roar in front of the window, as if the whole house collapsed, knocked on the windows, and at last raged in wild flocks to the door and into the room, danced around the bed of the house with infernal noise Farmers and kept shouting, "Give us the shirt again!" Finally, they tore him by the hair from the bed and dragged him through the room until he finally gave them out the shirt again. Careless mothers who neglected their children, they took the children away, abducted them into their burrows and later gave them back to the desperate and improvement-praising mothers. After that, the wild women became more and more angry. They teased and teased people wherever they could. When the pits and quarries brought much unrest into their homes and endangered the caves, they began to see each other less and less, retreated deeper into the rocks and finally disappeared altogether. At "Soalsborn" behind the Wildweiberhäuschen, some people saw a woman at night washing their clothes and shirts. She spoke nothing, and when addressed, she was gone! "(Text: Dr. Karl Löber)

        The way to the Wildweiberhäuschen is wonderful to drive and in the summer by the proximity to the Aubach pleasantly cool.
