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 eerie places where gnomes, ghostly builders and cudgel dogs are said to have done their mischief. Read on the yellowed parchments the legends and stories that should have happened hundreds of years ago in this very place and do your own research on the causes and explanations.
All just fantasy - all just lazy magic?
The fact is: no other place in Germany has such a rich legendary and eerie 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 fantasies, legends are partly stories handed down over centuries - always with a small, true core.
So, have a look yourself for the "Seven Virgins", the "Trunchbull Dog", the rock massif "Hohlen Stein" or the "False Schnadegänger" and find out!
