The so-called Dwarfs' Hole can still be seen near the village. Dwarfs once lived here, until humans disturbed them and they moved away. They went from house to house asking for a slice of bread with a cryptic rhyme: 'We have come for a gift. If we get something, that is good; if not, that is good too. Give us a gift, do not give us a gift!'
