Sometimes creepy, sometimes humorous, but always exciting are the old legends from the Sauerland. On the Sauerland-Waldroute you will pass various legend stations.
Visit the spooky places where gnomes, ghostly builders and cudgel dogs are said to have wreaked havoc. Read the legends and stories on the yellowed parchments that are said to have happened hundreds of years ago in this very place and research the causes and explanations yourself.
Is it all just fantasy - all just lazy magic?
The fact is: no other place in Germany has such a rich legendary and gruesome literature to offer as the western Sauerland. These tales say a lot about the people and the world in which they lived. Legends are not just fantasy, legends are stories that have been handed down over the centuries - always with a small kernel of truth.
So why don't you look up the "Seven Virgins", the "Knüppelhund", the "Hohlen Stein" rock massif or the "falsch Schnadegänger" and find out for yourself!
