Kain jump - legend
Two boys were playing with marbles west of the village of Oberdorla. One of them was called Kain. While playing, he threw one of his marbles too far, so that it fell into a hole in the ground between some large stones in a small hollow. Kain tried to move the stones aside to get his marble out. When he finally managed to loosen one of the large chunks, a strong jet of water shot towards him, filling the entire hollow. The other boy called out to him in alarm: "Kain jump - otherwise you will drown!"
This incident thus gave the sinkhole spring its name.translated by•October 19, 2024
