The ghost of the late Adelheid, wife Heinrich the Iron, appears every year on the anniversary of her husband's death in the ruins of the rear building in the Wachau. Heinrich married a new woman shortly after her death, although at that time there was a year of mourning. Shortly afterward he died too. Many saw it as a punishment for his shameful behavior. "
