Description

A young Swabian prince, Frederick, yearns for freedom beyond his powerful father’s castle walls, seeking solace in the deep forests of the Kinzig Valley. There he discovers a hidden love with Gela, the modest daughter of a retainer, whose secret meetings beneath a towering oak blossom into a tender, forbidden romance. As the kingdom rallies for distant holy quests, Frederick balances his noble duties with the quiet longing that drives him deeper into the woodland realm.

Interwoven with the folklore of giants, dwarfs, and water‑sprites, the tale captures the magic of medieval German legends while grounding the story in the heartfelt struggle of two lovers defying status and expectation. Listeners will be drawn into vivid descriptions of moonlit glades, ancient castles, and the whispered promises that echo through mythic woods, setting the stage for a journey where love and destiny intertwine.
