The saga of Ankenballen

According to the legend, a rich but stingy farmer was selling skimmed milk but not the butter from it during times of increasing prices – he was waiting to sell the butter at even higher prices. But times improved, prices dropped, and nobody wanted his butter, so it piled up to finally build up Ankenballen – butter peak. This remarkable limestone rock is located near Chilchzimmersattel and near Schöntal monastery.
