The Myth
On certain nights, a maiden clad entirely in white is said to appear at the Guiseborn stream, which flows between Rosport and Steinheim along a small hill.
At times she is seen washing her linen in the spring. At other times she walks silently back and forth along its edge.
Thus the spring is remembered as the haunt of a white-clad maiden who returns there by night.
