Kitzbühel Stories
Of greed, gold and lake water.

Centuries ago, a beautiful, majestic farmhouse stood on the spot where the Schwarzsee is now located. The house was inhabited by a mysterious woman whose identity nobody knew.

One stormy night, a heavily laden wagon drove up to the house. Six strong men dragged a heavy chest, filled with silver and gold, into the woman's house. Shortly afterwards, the farmhouse vanished - submerged beneath the waters of the Schwarzsee.

Nobody knew why it happened, except a young servant who had been peering through the window of the so-called "Schwarzer Hof" When he saw the woman with all her gold, he was overcome by a powerful greed and smashed open the window - at which point, the houst was consumed by a vast deluge.

The servant survived. He only told his story on his deathbed - including the tale of the treasure that had sunk to the bottom of the Schwarzsee.

To this day, it has still never been discovered. - from Kitzbühel Tourismus
