On the right bank of the Flöha, directly behind the Bastion, the slope is still covered with massive boulders to this day. The "Devil himself" is said to have wreaked havoc here:
Long ago, the miller at the Flöha River made a contract with the devil. According to this contract, the devil was to build a stone bridge over the river. If he succeeded in doing so in just one night, he would have a claim on the miller's soul. However, if the devil failed to complete the structure by the first rooster crow, the agreement would be void.
As dusk fell, the devil began piling heavy stones. Construction progressed rapidly. Shortly after midnight, the work was nearing completion. The miller was seized by fear. He regretted the contract. He hastily sought ways to preserve his soul. He found salvation in the chicken coop. He grabbed the rooster and tore the poor bird from its sleep. The terrified animal cawed at the top of its lungs. The devil, who had previously been confident of victory, was startled. A rooster's crow at such an unusual time could only be a deception. Nevertheless, he had to comply with the agreement. In a rage, he tore down his building.
