The legend of the Jägerpfuhl on the Hölschberg
A long time ago a cruel hunter lived there with his bandits on the Hölschberg . The people did not dare to enter the forest for fear of him . One day the hunter stubbornly pursued a hare. The hare ran towards the forester's house and jumped around it. The hunter shouted angrily: "If I don't meet him, my house should be cursed and cursed and sink into the ground!" However, he missed. As a result, he, his journeymen and the house were swallowed up by an abyss. A pond , the Jägerpfuhl, was created on the spot. The forester is said not to have found any peace even today and to hang around in the forest during Advent and Lent . He scares hikers, children and game with howling and barking dogs.
