Was there really a bear going on here?

The legend of Odel's Uwe Odel's oven (Uwe) is a rock cave in the shape of an oven from earlier times. It is located in a forest ravine between Kronweiler and Nohen and is popularly known as "Odel's Uwe". The saga exists in two variants: 1. An outcast castle woman, the wife of a knight from the Nahegau, is said to have lived in this cave until her repentant husband brought her back to his castle. A hen shared the lot of exile with the innocent. For feeding it ran daily to the other chickens in Kronweiler, but kept returning via the so-called "Hinkelspfädche" 1 back to the cave and laid an egg there. 2. A woman named Ottilie "Odilche" is said to have lived here during the Thirty Years' War. After her relatives and the other residents of her village fell victim to armed attacks and illnesses, she withdrew here. Thick bushes made the cave almost impossible to find, and a clear brook provided the necessary drinking water. Two chickens, which took turns laying an egg a day, made sure that the poor woman did not starve to death. It owed it to them that it was preserved until the time when things were in order again made it possible for her to return to her own kind. The legend about the wife of a knight has no basis and was probably based on the Genoveva legend. The second version, which refers to the Thirty Years' War, on the other hand, has a historical background. At that time, remote and protected places - if no castles or fortified cities were accessible - often offered the rural population the only protection for their lives when enemies approached. The local residents used Odel's stove as a refuge, which probably led to the origin of the legend in later times.

Only knew her from pictures. Is really very impressive in nature. You should definitely have a look.
