At the bottom of the Jochenstein, a rock rising high from the Danube waters, there once stood a magnificent fairytale castle. The lovely, golden-haired mermaid Isa, a sister of the Loreley of the Rhine, ruled this fairy-tale castle. In shimmering dresses, with a green reed wreath or a garland of colorful flowers in her hair, she appeared to the fishermen on bright moonlit nights. Even when thick fog made river travel dangerous, she showed herself to the fishermen as a warning. But woe to the unfortunate person who followed her seductive temptations or her wonderful singing, he was doomed forever.
