One of the reasons why I vastly prefer local legends to fairy tales is that the former are often set in recognizable real world locations which are fascinating in their own right.

For example, I am currently researching a tale about a #dragon , and I just learned that in its #cave there were discoveries of human remains that date back several tens of thousands of years, as well as the remains of more than 30,000 cave bears.
