Three men who turned into grey stones?
The stone and the summit cross are located at 1,072 m above sea level in Strallegg.
According to a legend, three men who lived near Graz learned that there was a treasure of gold and precious stones on a mountain in the Feistriz Valley. They immediately set out to search for the treasure. When they were at the height of Strallegg, they saw something glittering and they practically ran up the mountain.
Just before they reached their destination, a dwarf appeared to them. He said to them: "Listen to me and be careful with the gold on the mountain. Otherwise it won't bring you any luck!". The men, however, did not listen to him and rushed to the treasure.
Immediately afterwards, the sky darkened, then a comet shot across the sky and straight towards the men. The comet killed all three and turned them into grey stones.
You can still see these stones on the mountain today.
