Near our places, over the Inn valley, there’s a old fortress. This was built in 1650. Here lived for many years kings and Romans. Now the castle is a famous tourist attraction.

The legend:

One day a young peasant went to the wood to pick up firewood because it was a very cold winter day.

He forgot the time, the sky got darkerand he didn’t find the way to his house.

Immediately panic and fear took him, because in the village people say that in the wood lives a dragon.

While he was wandering in the wood, he saw a blinding light, shone in the distance; so his fear grew. However the curiosity was tormenting him, so he decided to go todiscover where the strange light came from.

While he was arriving to a little glade he could only think what there was here.

He rubbed his eyes, but the vision didn’t changed.

Really there were six men black dressedand they were playing skittles in a gold track.

Near the trackthere was the dragon, and he put in order the skittles after every game and brought back the ball.

Slowly the peasant dragged himself more nearly to can see better the scene.

When he was drawing near, the men disappeared and only the bowling trackand the dragon remained.

The countryman was very eager for money, so he risk his life and removed the spitfire dragon and inserted the track into his bag.

The dragon ran after the peasant, but he, when felt the hot of the dragon’s fire, ran as much as one can.

He arrived at home and than he had to get one’s breath back before examining his booty.

The countryman got very frightened when he brought the bowling track.

In fact the track was become of stone.
