Geocache Description:


The name of the small town Lasauvage (lux. "Zowaasch") comes from "Val de la femme sauvage" (engl. "Valley of the savage woman"; lux. "Dall vun der wëller Fra") and can be related to a legend of a savage woman, of which was told to have eaten only raw meat and that was buried by a landslide under a rock spur, under which she has lived.
