There's a legend that  there is a carriage of gold buried somewhere in that forest. It hasn't been dug out because that isn't easy, according to the local legend: on top of finding it, you have to dig it out under certain circumstances (I don't know them all, but I think it involves a full moon and, most important, you may not speak a single word or it will sink again into the ground). Of course, legend holds that some guys have almost dug it out once, but then someone uttered some enthusiastic "yes" or something like that, and it sank again.Also, a nearby mountain (Schaumberg,  "Mt. Foam") holds some ruins of a castle or fortification - all what's left is a part of a wall. It is said that at midnight, the wall opens and will-o'-wisps come out, roaming the mountain and returning a little while later.A little farther away, we have a pond (AFAIK rather big for a pond, no 10-ft fish pond people have in their gardens. Somewhere between pond and lake in size) which has been known to claim several people - including good swimmers, and there have been eye witnesses to these drownings. They tried to drain the pond, but it never succeeded. Probably it has some inlet and outlet below the surface (the area is/was heavily mined for coal, and some of the abandoned tunnels might have become outlets for the pond.) Anyway, none of the bodies were ever retrieved.</blockquote>
