    Say to the Heidenloch
    (From: From the past of the Waldsassengau ...., p. 168.)


    The following legend plays in the deep meadow in the village of Urspringen. It goes back to the time of the Christianization of Franconia. The message of God had also reached Urspringen and the nearby Grünfeld, which has not existed for a long time. Half of the inhabitants were already converted, but the devil did everything possible to prevent the further advance of the faith. To his great regret, the missionary actually had little success, so he concluded a contract with the devil without further ado.

    In 1981 there was a fatal accident in the cave, since then it has been closed to the public.
