legend
There is a legend about the lake that the local poet Hinrich Braasch described in his book Hinnerk ut de Heid in 1954 . According to this, a large castle is said to have stood in the moor , in which a ruthless robber lived who attacked and robbed farmers and traveling merchants. Eventually the residents of the area got together, caught the robber in his castle and stole his booty from him - except for a box with gold pieces hidden deep in the cellar that could not be found. When brought before the judge, the robber swore by God that all the booty had been taken from him and that he was no longer hiding any treasures, and that his castle should sink into the moor if he did not speak the truth. This then happened, and when the people noticed this, they hung the robber on the gallows before the judge could intervene. The resulting dark lake is unfathomably deep. A diver also once climbed into the lake to retrieve the treasure chest guarded by a large black dog. But he did not reappear, instead blood had swelled to the surface.
