    Tips

    January 16, 2021

    “In the place of this hollow there used to be a farm whose owner was a passionate hunter. For weeks the hunter had been chasing a big stag to bring him down. He was on the prowl day and night and hardly paid any attention to his farm.

    One morning, when the hunter was sitting at table with his family and his servants, he said, to the horror of the family: 'If I don't keep a stag, shawl min Hus un Hoff unnergahn!' Curse. The yard with all its servants and all animals sank; only a black bog pond today indicates the place where the courtyard had stood.

    But his breeding bull, which had broken out in the afternoon, escaped the accident. From now on the bull haunted Bokel and disappeared into the bull's hollow in the evening.

    One day the old shepherd Marten Heitzken chased his dogs on the bull. But he attacked the shepherd. In agony the shepherd shouted: 'Joseph and Mary help me!' As if swept away by a ghostly hand, the bull disappeared into the hollow and was never seen again. In gratitude for his salvation, the shepherd carved an oak door for the Bokeler Chapel in 1631, which is still a witness of what happened at that time. "
