The legend of the Schwarzsee

It is said that once upon a time there were magnificent alpine pastures where the lake now lies. These reached all the way up to the Kaiseregg. All the estates belonged to Bernhard Riggi, who, despite his wealth, remained friendly and generous towards everyone. This also pleased the dwarves, who protected his cattle in gratitude. His son and successor did things differently. He poached and was stingy. The dwarves were driven away. Then a terrible thunderstorm broke out, devastating the Alps, dragging the wayward son into the depths and covering the valley floor with debris. Behind this boulder bar, the water masses dammed up - and a dark lake was formed.
