Local legend about stone pigs: Long ago, a poor widow from Grzybowa Góra took her two children to the famous church fair in Wąchock. The children, captivated by the numerous stalls, begged for toys, but their mother couldn't afford them. On the way back, the tired and hungry children cried loudly and complained of unfulfilled desires. Desperate and exhausted by their behavior, the mother angrily shouted for them to turn to stone, even if only for a moment. Her thoughtless words were heard by the devil, who immediately transformed the children into two boulders resembling pigs. Seeing this, the distraught woman begged that she too would suffer the same fate, which the devil so readily did. To this day, three stone boulders lie in the forest, warning children against disobedience and parents against impatience.
