**The Hoher Stein**

At the junction between Egerland and Vogtland, the rock cliffs of the legendary Hoher Stein rise east of Eubabrunn at an elevation of 777 m above sea level. Dwarfs are said to live inside, and treasures are hidden there. In the times of the Marcomanni, a princely castle once stood here, at the foot of which was a lake. Theudolinde, the daughter of the castle lord, was to be married to a prince. However, she loved a singer. They were eavesdropped on during their secret meetings. The father pierced his daughter with his sword and threw her into the lake. Her lover confronted the castle lord with his harp and his weapon until pushed back to the last rock ledge, where he fell into the lake. Embracing the body of his lover, he cast a terrible curse on the cruel father. And as he sank with his beloved, the castle collapsed, and the lake froze to stone. The ruins of the castle are still said to be visible today.
