How The Waterfall At Goldingen Started

In ancient times, when the Livonians still owned Kurinmaa coasts, the Latvians were in a difficult position. To release something down the stream to the open sea, they had to walk on the ground past the Livonian guard, so that the battle of both nations sometimes never stopped. The Livonians prayed to evil spirits, but the Lattians respected the rumbling thunder. Once they were equipped again the latter on a campaign against their blood enemies. The Livonians prayed to the supreme for their evil spirits and he decided to put a lock on it to the stream, that it would flow through the city of Goldingen and the surrounding areas over the Latvian settlements and destroy them from the face of the earth.

At midnight, the devil went about two pennies along the river as far as what is called Elenfurth, where there were many stones, and took an immense pile of stones to carry. He had already thrown this to the stream, right near the city and hurried to get another -- when a terrible rumble of thunder woke the chief of the Lattians from his sleep. He stepped out of his house and saw that the power was already half off. It could only come to an end by the devil's means! I'll do it quickly decided, the chief ran to the chicken coop and began to crow like a rooster. The rooster woke up and answered with a shrill, loud voice. When the devil hearing this, in its fright, it dropped another pile of stones near the shore and ran away. The first rock pile formed a waterfall At Goldingen, which waterfall can still be seen today, but the other drifted along the shore so far that the stones turned to plaster.
