Legend: Thrown
by the witch from Skansebakken towards
Nødebo Church. Or was it Kullemanden;
the troll who lives on Kulleberga in
Sweden, who hated the sound of church
bells. Many years ago he was so angry
that he broke all boulders of Kulleberga
and threw them at Nødebo Church to stop
bell sound. The first roll was too
short, and the stone struck close to the
place where now the forest school is
located. The next throw went west on the
church with killing at Lille Gribsø. The
third wing of the church and landed at
Egelund. Since the fourth throw did not
reach beyond the "Tumlingevang", he gave
up his
endeavor, and the bell can still be
heard.
