Hiking

The legend of "The Corn Maiden of Nordeck" is told at this transformer station. A real eye-catcher.

Hiking

The picture on the transformer station tells the story of the Corn Queen of Nordeck. This legend exists in two versions, which can be found on Google. 1. A farmer encounters the Corn Queen, who collects the grain from local farmers in her castle to assess their farming practices. 2. A young man sees a girl dressed in gold, holding three lilies growing nearby, unlock the castle and disappear inside. He wants to go in to her, which is only possible on St. John's Day (June 24th). He would have to leave before midnight, but he was never seen again.
