Three Men Turned to Gray Stones?

The stone and the summit cross are located at an altitude of 1,072 meters in Strallegg.

According to a legend, three men living near Graz learned that a treasure of gold and precious stones was said to be hidden on a mountain in the Feistritz Valley. They immediately set off in search of the treasure. When they reached the heights of Strallegg, they saw a glittering light and practically ran up the mountain.

Just before they reached their destination, a dwarf appeared to them. He said to them: "Listen to me and handle the gold on the mountain with care. Otherwise, it will bring you no luck!" However, the men did not listen to him and rushed towards the treasure.

Immediately, the sky darkened, then a comet shot across the firmament and directly towards the men. The comet killed all three and turned them into gray stones.

You can still see these stones on the mountain today.
