The Myth
Between Böwingen and Useldingen there once lay a place known as the Wild Woman’s Hedge, where the road now runs.
People said that a wild woman lived there. Parents warned their children not to linger in that place, telling them it was not a good spot, for the wild woman dwelt there.
Thus the hedge was remembered as the haunt of a hidden female spirit who lingered in the landscape.
