Myths and legends
According to a legend, the interior of the Hochbuchberg is said to contain a mighty lake, the water of which could break out and flood the area:
“One fine day in the last century a farmer who lived near the Hochbuchberg went to see his brother-in-law in Bad Kreuzen. There he wanted to first pay his sister a visit and second, initiate a deal. He wanted to get a good dairy cow in the foreseeable future, and his brother-in-law knew something about it. He left home after lunch and reached his destination halfway through the afternoon. There was a lot to tell at first, and so the time flew by. After a long snack , we talked about the economy and looked around the house and stable. His brother-in-law gave him some cheap purchases, and night fell over this lively conversation. Now he said goodbye and made his way home. It was a pitch black new moon night. But the farmer knew the way, and besides, he wasn't afraid. When he got near the Hochbuchberg and his property, he suddenly heard a dull rumble. He stopped and listened into the dark night. When it was quiet again, he continued on his way a little faster. But suddenly an even stronger rumble and rustling reached his ear. It was clearly audible from the Hochbuchberg. Startled, he hurried home. At home, his wife, children, and servants received him in great excitement and fear. Trembling all over their bodies, they talked about what they had just experienced. The farmer also reported on his experience. Fear was written on everyone's face. They locked the courtyard and front doors, but couldn't sleep all night, their excitement and fear were too great. When the next day, a wonderful spring day, the residents of the area around the Hochbuchberg met, their conversation was only about the event of the previous night. Since that time people have been saying that there should be a lake in the Hochbuchberg. One day, in an unknown future, this lake will break out and flood all of Pabneukirchen. "
