Legend
Kunnimägi, the Devil's unfinished fortress
Kunnimägi, Vanapagana poolik kindlus
Near Meegomäe and Kasaritsa stands a big wooded hill called Kunnimägi. Stories told here in 1939 say it was the Old Devil's home and that he set out to build a fortress at its foot, hauling great stones together. A rainy summer came, thunder roared, and the frightened devil leapt into a pond below the hill; the downpour washed his stones into the valley, where they still lie. The burrows near the summit, now home to raccoon dogs, were said to be his old lodgings, and strange sounds were still heard there during thunderstorms.

Meegomäe ja Kasaritsa lähedal kõrgub suur metsane mägi nimega Kunnimägi. 1939. aastal siin räägitud lugude järgi oli see Vanapagana elupaik ja ta hakanud mäe jalamile kindlust ehitama, kandes kokku suuri kive. Tuli vihmane suvi, pikne müristas ja hirmunud Vanapagan hüppas mäe all olevasse lompi; paduvihm uhtus tema kivid orgu, kus need tänini lebavad. Mäetipu lähedal olevaid urge, kus nüüd elavad kährikud, peeti tema endisteks eluasemeteks, ja äikese ajal olevat seal veel imelikke hääli kuulda.
