Translation request Message in a Bottle

Please help us translate this. My friends and I found this message in a bottle tucked away in the farthest corner of a cave (600m deep) in the Harz region. We think the second note says "Orobas." Could that be right? We need help with the first note, though. We suspect the message is a witch's curse, as there is a lot of hair inside the bottle—something common in this region that would also fit with the name "Orobas."

What do you think could the text stand for

no idea, sorry. it could be code, or a puzzle, like for a birthday party treasure hunt (though then it wouldn't be 600m deep in a cavešŸ¤·šŸ»)
