The Bridal Crown under the Stone – an old village legend

Can you see the large stone on the flat? How could it have got here? Legend has it that the troll Jutulen, threw it down here in anger from Håksnesfjellet, the highest mountain that you can see on the right when you look over Lake Tinnsjøen. This is how the story goes: The bride Marit was making her way to the church by boat over Lake Tinnsjøen. Marit will stand before the alter of God, she is beautifully adorned with brooches and rings. On her head a magnificent crown sparkling and shining in the sun. As the boats reach the shore and the people come onto the land, a wounded sob could be heard from Håkanesnutene. Jutulen, was very much in love with Marit, and he was angry and hurt. A thunderous voice was heard to say, “Here is my wedding gift” … A loud whirring sound is heard in the air, a dark cloud appearing in the sky, which reveals itself as a large stone, sailing over the heads of the people, knocking the crown off Marit’s head, and landing on the beach. Enjoying the spectacle, Jutulen arose from the mountain, but he had forgotten that the sun was shining, the rays hit him, and he cracked into pieces. The people searched for the crown, but it was under the stone, where according to legend it remains today. You can look for it yourself; can you move the stone?
