Der Eisack* und die Etsch

In alten Zeiten wetteiferten zwei Flüsse, wer von ihnen wohl der wichtigste sei.

Einer sagte: „Ich bin der Wichtigste, denn ich komme vom Brenner und mit meinem Wasser hat schon so mancher Kaiser seinen Durst gestillt..“

„ Ich bin nich weniger wichtig als du,“ erwiderte der andere „auch ich komme von einem bedeutenden Pass und bin genauso wie du vom Fürstenstand geschätzt.“

Dieser Wettstreit erhitzte die Gemüter der beiden Flüsse so sehr, dass ihre Wässer schon über die Ufer quollen und die Menschen beängstigt flüchteten.

Da tauchte die Nymphe Vodia, die Königin der Flüsse, auf und befahl: “Du, Eisack, bist der kleine Bruder, lass dich von der Etsch in ihre Arme nehmen und bis ins Meer führen.“

Seit dieser Begebenheit fließen nun die Wasser der beiden Flüsse friedlich vereint zur Adria.

(Province of Bolzano-Bozen myth)
