Those who want to get to know their homeland must also be familiar with its legends: Over four decades, the native of Enns, Franz Harrer (1880 - 1975), collected and documented more than 130 myths and legends from the Traunviertel region. Many of these stories are based on oral traditions passed down by the people. They speak of treasures, mountain spirits, wild hunters, eerie times of plague, and encounters with the devil. Readers will traverse around seventy municipalities and villages on Harrer's exciting journey through legends. The author provides insight into long-gone times as he recounts the founding of Steyr Castle, the wind hole on Damberg, or the forest spirit at Schoberstein. Engaging stories also surround the Holy Spring in Adlwang and Field Marshal Count Tilly, the builder of Tillysburg near St. Florian. Included is the founding legend of Christkindl!.
