An evil castle knight, cursed by almost every serf, vanished one day. Only at night did the ghost of his black horse appear here, with a fiery halter around its neck. According to legend the halter had to be held for an hour to release the knight's spirit. Nobody has yet managed it, so the wandering horse can supposedly still be encountered.
