Say

A castle is said to have stood on the fir rock near Nusplingen in which a noble damsel lived. Konrad Albert Koch made a reconstruction drawing. Once a gypsy woman came with her baby and asked for shelter for the night. For free. Asked again and again in vain. Then the gypsy cursed the young lady until a cradle was made out of one of the rock trees growing there and a baby was cradled in it.
