The Legend of Saint Anne's lake

The formation of Saint Anne's Lake is often connected to a legend according to which there was a king who had two sons. Before the king died he had divided his kingdom between his sons: Lord of Budos and Lord of Balvanyos. They had only two interests: competing with one another and amassing riches. One day Lord of Budos bought the most splendid horses in the country. In order to compete with his brother, the Lord of Balvanyos had picked the twelve most beautiful of the maidens and ordered them to be harnessed to the coach. Then he rode to his brother's castle with the maidens pulling the coach. He whipped the maidens to go faster as a storm was approaching but they were exhausted and could not go faster. Then the most beautiful maiden, Anna, cursed the Lord of Balvanyos. She wished the ground would open up and the Lord of Balvanyos would fall into it. God heard Anna's cries and everything happened just as she wished. The Lord fell into its womb along with the twelve maidens. Then suddenly the skies opened and a storm filled the hole with rain. Within moments a lake had formed. The Lord turned into a dragon, and the twelve maidens became swans.
