The legend "The Lindworm of Goggausee" tells that a seven-year-old rooster once laid a red egg in a dunghill, from which a #Lindworm hatched after three years. The worm grew quickly and ate the cattle of the farmers in the area, so they made plans to kill the creature.
A sorcerer who lived in the area had the saving idea. He hid a poisonous black lump in a hay cart, and harnessed two oxen to the device. However, since no one dared to steer the cart to the dragon, a mentally handicapped servant was sent off with the cart. When the servant led the wagon past the Goggausee, the dragon jumped out and swallowed it along with the servant and the oxen. A short time later he died of the poison.

To relieve the peasants from the #Lindworm, the Duke of #Carinthia made them built a huge, strong tower at the limits of the swamps. Fearless knights hid there, and a stout bull tied to a chain with barbs was presented as a bait. Soon the winged Lindworm appeared and devoured the bull - and hung wriggling on the chain like a fish on the hook. At once he was slain by the knights. Later the swamps were drained, and the tower was replaced by a castle. Thus the town Klagenfurt was founded. The city-arms still show tower and dragon to remind us of this heroic deed. @9020tweets

There is a legend that there was once a large lake where the #Loibltal in #Carinthia opens today. But one day, on the advice of a mountain gnome, a charcoal burner set out to penetrate deep into the earth, where a #Lindworm was guarding a great treasure. But instead of just taking a few gems, the man got greedy and stole his golden egg from the dragon. When the mighty creature noticed this, it raged so terribly that the mountains split and the lake flowed through the resulting gorge.

The depictions of the #Lindworm in the coats of arms of #Klagenfurt and #Ljubljana are amazingly similar. Although in older representations, the #Lindworm in #Klagenfurt's coat of arms is shown with two legs, like a #wyvern. #FolkloreSunday

#SwampSunday: The #Lindwurm #Myth, Part 2: After leaving #Mallnitz the #Lindworm dwelled in the swamps near the river Glan, where now #Klagenfurt lies. Detractors say, he was feeding on virgins and finally ran out of replenishment. But that`s wrong! Here`s the true story:
