Das verfluchte Jungfernloch

The Cursed Virgin hole is the name of a cave above the calves reason, a small tributary of the Mary Valley, in a cliff on the eastern slope of the Eisenach Castle, about 500 meters south of the Wartburg in Eisenach.

It was named after a popular legend, which was printed in 1795 that appeared in Eisenach anonymous collection of folk tales and subsequently processed, among other things by Ludwig Bechstein. Accordingly lived in Eisenach once a beautiful maiden who never went to church, " because they had too many and too beautiful robe and with her plaster that account was never finished," and was therefore cursed by her mother. Since then, she lives in the cave and shows up only every seven years at the entrance, where she sits and cries, and " flows over her golden hair, which meshes with a golden comb, like the Lurlei on the Rhine. "
