Legend
'Out of the way, Kuremaa is coming!'
Below Patjala village there is a bog so soft it will not bear a man. A lake once lay there, but when a woman washed a baby's dirty linen in it, the lake took offence and moved away to Kuremaa manor, where it still lies. A black bull came out first and walked ahead shouting: out of the way, Kuremaa is coming! One tail of the old lake was left at Patjala as a reminder, and that too is slowly growing over.

Eesti keeles
Patjala küla all on tüma soo, mis ei kanna inimestki. Seal oli vanasti järv, aga kui üks naine selles lapse nartse pesi, vihastas järv ja läks Kuremaa mõisa alla, kus ta on tänapäevani. Ees tuli järvest välja must härg ja hüüdis: alt ära, Kuremaa tuleb! Üks saba jäi Patjala alla mälestuseks, seegi on nüüd kinni kasvamas.
