Kalevipoeg's footprints at Keava
Kalevipoja jäljed Keaval
At Keava, known for its ancient hill forts, north of Kehtna, two hollows about half a kilometre apart look remarkably like human footprints. A tale recorded in 1939 explains them: Kalevipoeg was coming from the north, very tired, and spotted Ohekatku as a good place to sleep. He hurried towards it, but at Keava he felt so worn out that he stopped to stand and rest for a long while, even though Ohekatku was close. The weight of his standing pressed the two great prints into the ground before he went on and lay down at Ohekatku.

Keaval, muistsete linnamägede paigas Kehtnast põhja pool, on kaks umbes poole kilomeetri kaugusel teineteisest asuvat lohku, mis meenutavad väga inimese jalajälgi. 1939. aastal kirja pandud lugu seletab neid: Kalevipoeg tulnud põhja poolt, väga väsinuna, ja märganud, et Ohekatku on hea puhkepaik. Ta ruttas sinna, kuid Keavas tundis end nii väsinuna, et jäi tükiks ajaks seisma, kuigi Ohekatku oli juba lähedal. Seistes vajutas ta raskus maasse kaks suurt jälge, enne kui ta edasi läks ja Ohekatkus magama heitis.
