This is a magical place that I always love to return to. My grandmother, who lives in Nauroth, always tells me about the wild female who lived in the rock cave and came to the village to sell medicinal herbs and to do sewing work. The area is rich in slate. This once formed a cave here, which unfortunately collapsed. Right next to it is a small stream that flows completely over flattened slate slabs. The last time I visited, I almost stepped on a grass snake here - we were both very frightened.

Here, where the "Wild Woman" lived according to old legends, you will find a cave with rugged rock formations made of slate. A lovely place for a little rest.

Here has many years ago
a female wild housed
the forest was her home
how did the storm roar

In Nauroth in the village
she was very popular there
with spider and with ropes
she fed herself poorly

She wasn't afraid
when the night is scary black
the wild hunter's roar
not deterred from the path

That's how she lived her life
in seclusion
until the mountain spirit warned:
Now come on, get ready!

Then he came in the winter
the path was icy smooth
and at the last stage
Then she falls fatally

The cave is locked
completely destroyed by the rockslide
and only the gap at the entrance
he remained unharmed

That's how it's still told
and you pass here
then climb through the rocks
here is wild-bitch's ley
