ABSTRACT

On the mountain of the Senndorfer district, which lies behind Windau, there is in the middle of the forest a great, deep bog, called Grändelsmor, about the origin of which there is the following tale: A peasant from Senndorf was once ploughing here with six oxen on the ploughlands which had been there for a long time. The sun kept on rising higher and shining hotter: the man could no longer bear the heat; then-angry that the sun was so hot while he was working hard-he seized the coulter and struck at the sun. At the same moment he sank with his six oxen and the driver into the deep, and where those ploughlands were there is still today the great, deep bog (orally recorded in Senndorf).
