Vats full of money and various other treasures lie hidden inside the mountain. At night a wagon with fiery wheels appears here and quickly vanishes into the distance. At the foot of the mountain is a marsh where a mill once stood before sinking into the earth. The clattering of its wheel and a child’s cries can supposedly still be heard from underground.
