Legend says both hills arose from a contest between the Devil and the Virgin Mary to see who could build the higher mound. When the demon lost, he stamped furiously on the summit, leaving a deep pit ever since. It is said that at midnight the Devil sits on his hill and plays the violin. Surroundings:
