The legend

Long ago, many witches were said to live on Witch Hill and along its slopes. On the side of Ope, their dwelling was believed to be a deep cave in a steep cliff. No one was allowed to approach it, and anyone who did was mercilessly seized, led astray, tormented, and deceived. Even solitary passers-by, travellers, and riders were not spared. Unable to endure this, the locals asked many pastors from nearby areas to come and drive the witches away, freeing the land from their presence. Many pastors tried, but none succeeded. The witches would reveal each man’s sins, declaring that a sinful person could not drive them away.
At last, a pastor arrived who had only committed a single sin in his life – once, at a market, being hungry, he had taken a pretzel without permission. The witches reproached him for this as well, but since God had already forgiven the sin, the pastor invoked God’s name and consecrated the place where the witches had long lived, and they were forced to leave Witch Hill. They fled downstream along the River Vaidava, screaming like children of Vāraus as they abandoned their old dwelling. Soon after, their dwelling collapsed. The witches themselves were said to scatter and live along the River Vaidava.
