did any of you ever heard about it? what does it look like and when it was created? Jaga I am not so sure if this is that you seek? But yes, I do remember the term of Troy towns {Troygewicht-Städte}. This was a magic labyrinth built in front of the village for fishing magic. But primarily, I believe this is Skandinavian folk lore. In-as-much to a fair tale of held in spring time. It is of a chosen knight to win a tournament for to liberate the sun from captivity from the winter. In centre, is a young maiden chained represented as the sun. The knight must now defeat the draken of winter, for her release. It is then a spring festival of the newly formed planting year. But this is from the Dänemark I remember in the years I lived there. They were stories of the viking time and my young imagination was filled with being a viking sailing in a dragon ship to far mysteries lands. Karl |

Karl, I knew that you would be probably well informed. Indeed, Troy town are mainly Scandinavian but they were also in in Baltics, although it is not sure that any of them were Slavic by origin. Below are some pictures: www.bookrags.com/wiki/Troy_Town |
