There is a legend about the special rock formation on the Goß: Once, on Christmas Eve, three tailors from Gams went over the Goß to Mariazell. On the way, they became exuberant, sat down on the height of the Goß and began to play cards in a boisterous manner. A stranger joined them and asked them if they would like to go to Christmas mass with them. But they answered: "We won't leave here again and we'll keep playing until the last pilgrim comes back from Mariazell. No sooner had they said this than the three tailors turned to stone, which can still be seen on the Goß today. They had been turned to stone as punishment for the sacrilegious desecration of Christmas Eve and must now wait until the last pilgrim from Mariazell arrives.
