A young bride died here on the way to church. Her carriage crashed and she drowned. The groom waited in vain for his beloved.

It's funny because the actual bridal pool, where according to legend a bride drowned a long time ago because her carriage tipped over, is in the forest near Reichertshausen.... Whether a bride also "drowned" here at this point?
