Legend has it that at the time of the giants pursued a spinner has missed its time that ficha into the ground and froze... Drawn to more than 5 meters above the ground, down to 2 m, with a diameter of 5.4 m in the middle, it is particularly impressive by its weight (20 tons). It is estimated that for the draw, at least 200 men had to work at once.

Women who could not have children threw a piece on the platform (height: 3.6m). If the item slipping them on a body part, they were pregnant. Nowadays, the ritual still exists.
