As part of the project "Trees experience history - trees tell history", Jewgenij Sidorkin (also spelled Evgeny or Yevgeniy) carved ten two-meter-tall wooden figures, which have been enhancing the Dölauer Heide since April 2013. Each figure is based on a legend.

The forest maiden
A long, long time ago there lived a pretty young woman in the forest near Dölau.
Her parents had long since died and she took care of them alone
House and yard. One day she collected the wood in the forest and became
seen by the tree spirit, who immediately fell in love with the girl.
He wrapped his branches around her, but she snatched away from him
Hugs and ran away from him. They withered from lovesickness
Leaves from the tree spirit and it was about to wither. So decided
the forest spirit comes to help him. He turned the girl into
a tree so that she could no longer escape the tree spirit.
But since she was attached to the ground, she was able to face it
Don't feed tree spirit either. And so they stand up separately in the forest
eternity from each other. They can't run away from each other anymore,
but also can't find each other.
