Pracharbon and Sasch Fendus: magic, myths and legends

Legend has it that near Pracharbon, on the slopes of Mount Zerbion, there were once two villages: Peret and Veret. Further up, at Pormonere, there was a large lake that one night overflowed, sweeping away the two settlements. Some say that in these places, centuries later, the voices and lamentations of the disappeared could still be heard and a prayer chapel was built for this reason. Whether it is history or legend, Sasch Fendus is certainly a magical place: a palaeo-landslide consisting of huge blocks of rock, now covered in moss and vegetation. Natural tunnels and ravines alternate with gentle green expanses smelling of resin, places where one would not be surprised to meet elves and goblins.
