Once upon a time there were three countesses who had to go to war. Many years had passed since they left their dear parents and the lovely home. Then a hiker came tired, hungry, and thirsty through a forest. His face was sunburnt, the clothes bad, torn. He eagerly sought for berries to satisfy his hunger and for a spring to quench his thirst. He also found what he was looking for. Behind the thick undergrowth, there muttered and bubbled, and purple strawberries laughed all around. The hiker relaxed and stretched the tired limbs in the shade of an oak tree to rest from the hardships of the hiking. Not long, however, and another hiker of the way came, and another, tired, hungry, and thirsty like him. His faces had also tanned the sun, and her clothes were no better than his own. When this also strengthened itself at the source, it was a telling: Where from, where and what experienced? What a wonderful coincidence! The three hiker were the countesses who had gone to war years before. When they had recognized each other, they fell on each other's neck and were crying. Before they set out to go home together, they vowed to build a chapel here at the spring, where God brought them together so unexpectedly, and they kept their word. This chapel, which bears the name "Brudersbrunn" and is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, is about half an hour from Grafenau and is a much-visited place of pilgrimage.
