    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
