The Granatbrunnen, a spring on the Tillenberg
Today, it is located about 5 meters from the state border on the German side.
According to legend, so-called garnets – red semiprecious stones – were once found here:
"On the Tillenberg there was a deep well. There were once so many garnets in it that a cart would have been needed to transport them away. A stonemason from Eger and his servant had spent years of painstaking work, mining them from the Tillenberg on Sundays and holidays, collecting and hiding them here in the deep well so that no one could see or steal them. The stonemason, however, was a stingy man who gave nothing to anyone and, in his cowardly greed for gain, completely neglected his religious duties. When he could no longer find any garnets, he sent his servant to Eger, despite it being Easter, to fetch a cart so he could transport the treasure home. Meanwhile, he himself guarded and arranged his garnets. Then he heard the Easter bells ringing for church services from the town, and immediately a thunderstorm approached, which The entire Tillenberg was enveloped in black storm clouds. Vast clouds of smoke billowed from the depths of the well, which collapsed, burying the stonemason and his treasures beneath the rubble. There, in the buried garnet well, he must remain until the Tillenberg runs out of garnets; only then will he resurface.
