In the Middle Ages, an abbot from Nossen came to visit his brother in office in the Grünhain monastery and received rich gifts there. Then, as he was riding home along the iron road, it happened that because of the things he was carrying, he was attacked and killed by a wicked fellow. The killer was caught and brought to justice. To this day the legend holds that one occasionally encounters the rider without a head – headless riding on his black steed. Also, on some nights you can hear the hoofbeats of his horse in the distance!
