    Legend has it that a young warrior fell in love with a beautiful girl. The wedding was organized and the rock not far from the lake was set up and decorated as an altar. The bride waited for her groom all day and night, but in vain. The next morning a man came to inform her that her groom had been found killed in a forest.

    The young woman buried him at the bottom of the lake and remained there for her entire life in the company of a bear, to guard her love. The young woman, having become old, was considered over the years a sorceress to whom the locals asked advice, remedies, spells and medicines. Upon her death, she was also buried at the bottom of the lake and according to Celtic traditions, the two spirits in love merged together.
