Kitzbuhel 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
Schwarzsee is of a moor lake situated 2 km west of Kitzbuhel Austria, along the Brixental Road in the the Kitzbuhel Alps. The lake is considered to be one of the most beautiful and warmest lakes for bathing in the Austrian Alps. It is really perfect to enjoy a swim as well as the fantastic view of the Wilder Kaiser mountains with peaks higher than 2,000 metres.
