The last lindwurm in the Gevezin area was killed by a cowherd. This cowherd encountered it sleeping on the Lindberg hill. He believed it to be a fir tree that had been toppled by the wind. He sat down on it, and wondered where the cut-off tree stump was. Since he was tired, he decided to light a pipe. He took a flintstone, steel, and firestarter, and began to make a fire. Meanwhile, the lindwurm woke up and started to move. The cowherd, who was scared out of his wits in the first moment, took his knobbed stick, and hit the head of the monster with a few forceful swings. This stunned the creature, and he was now able to kill it with ease. | The last lindwurm in the Gevezin area was killed by a cowherd. This cowherd encountered it sleeping on the Lindberg hill.
