  1. There is a fairy fort in our land and we can see two more.
    One of them is called Mc.Cabes' and the Rehegen forts. When you are standing on one fort you could see the others. There is no entrance in either of them. They are circular in shape. It is the Danes who have built them. The fairies were supposed to live in them and they used to leave white clay pipes after them.
