Hexenstein (Wegscheide)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The legend of the witch stone

From my childhood days
Known from my mother,
I am familiar with the legend
The legend of the "witch stone".


Take middle, castle, skins
And aura you to the circle,
In the center the spot
The legend knows about it.
Do you want to get to know her
So listen to my word
"Wegscheide" is what you call it,
Four villages border there.
Here was years and days ago
The stone is still gray with age,
To which the legend closes,
The saga of the "witch stone".


A spinning wheel and a goat's foot
He was chiseled:
So what's the point?
I once asked my mother.
She said: A girl of skins,
As it was once the custom
Went with the spinner
Almost a year
So again one evening
A terrible weather
The rain came down hard
The night was pitch black.
So with Bas and Cousin
You just rest for the night,
In this dog weather
Don't go home anymore.
But she did deny this
I have to go home! She spoke clearly
And when I have to ride home
Even on a billy goat.


Your spinning wheel under your arm
She went through night and horror
And free from any harassment
For furs to home.
However, as dawn is dawn
And she's not at home yet
one was full of worries
Went out on a search.
And came in the light of day
And found at dawn
All here at this point
The girl rigid and dead.
