I hate reading a cool piece of folklore and tracking down its location, only to find out the location has long since been paved over >:(
According to legend, the legendary Danish hero Holger Danske once got a pair of magical glasses from a witch that would allow him to see through anything. He tested them on Nørre Fælled, a well-known right outside Copenhagen, where he laid down and saw straight through the Earth. But when he stood up again, two big holes were left behind, which later filled with water and became lakes.
This map was made in the 1600s, where the glasses-lakes are clearly visible
Nowadays there's just a big dumb hospital in its place, and no sign left of Holger Danske or his witch glasses >:(
