High on the mountaintop in the beautiful Ulster Valley, a haughty and malevolent knight had built a stately castle. His son, unlike his father, had a good heart. Once when the young gentleman returned home from hunting, he saw a pretty farmer's daughter in the village of Geismar who was sitting in front of the house and was busy with her distaff.

You can find the complete description of the legend on the hiking board on site or in our brochure “Sagenhafte Rhön”.
