Legend
The count's lost treasure of Neeruti
Neeruti Kahejärve aare
Among the eskers of the Neeruti hills, which legend says are Kalevipoeg's furrows, lie the twin lakes known as Kahejärv. Their stories are mostly about hidden treasure. A tale recorded in 1939 in Kadrina parish tells that the count of Neeruti manor organised a search for the treasure in the lake, and it came within reach. But the count would have had to share a fair part of the riches with the people of the parish, and because he would not, the treasure slipped away again, just as at Rahaaugumägi near Rakke.

Eesti keeles
Neeruti mägede ooside vahel, mida muistend peab Kalevipoja künnivagudeks, asuvad Kahejärveks kutsutud järved. Nende lood räägivad peamiselt peidetud varandusest. 1939. aastal Kadrina kihelkonnas kirja pandud jutu järgi korraldas Neeruti mõisa krahv järvest aarde otsimise ja varandus oli juba käeulatuses. Krahv oleks aga pidanud tuntava osa sellest vallarahvale jagama ja kuna ta ei tahtnud, kadus aare jälle – täpselt nagu Rakke lähedal Rahaaugumäel.
