Legend says the blessed siblings Merbod, Diedo and Ilga were born into the line of the 11th century Counts of Bregenz. The siblings devoted their lives to prayer. Weeping, Ilga said her final farewell to her brothers on Lorena. As her tears fell to earth, a spring appeared. Another appeared on Berghalde, after Ilga spilled some water near her hermitage. The spring's water is still thought to have healing properties - those afflicted with eye diseases in particular make pilgrimages to the spring to sprinkle their eyes with the water.
