The Swedes decided to cut off the water source in order to quench the thirst of the castle garrison. They tried to dig a canal and divert the river water out of the reach of the water towers. That is what the legend says.
In March 2013, geologists explored the terrain of the rocky meander and found numerous transverse cracks. They found that the stone slabs are of different thickness and strength, and that is why the rock blocks slide down into the valley.
