There's a legend from South Tyrol about King Laurin's Rose Garden. (That part of the Dolomites is actually called Rosengarten).
The legend tells about a Dwarf king who falls in love with a human woman and elopes with her. However, her human relatives decide she must have been kidnapped, and mount a rescue mission.

King Laurin has a famous rose garden in the mountains, planted in honor of a daughter he lost.
