The Myth

In the Bleika, a tract of land north of the church of Triesenberg covered with beech forest and meadows, a dragon is said to lie hidden beneath the earth.

The dragon will remain there until the stones of the chapels at Litze and St. Wolfgang at Meierhof have all fallen from their places. When not a single stone remains upon another, the dragon will break free, and the entire Bleika will slide down into the valley as a gigantic landslide.
