 The story of Villa Volta is based on the legend of the buckriders, a fierce and merciless gang of robbers that was active in the Kempen in the Dutch provinces of North Brabant (where The Efteling is actually built) and Limburg and the bordering Belgian province of Brabant and Limburg (although the legend has as many versions about where the goat riders were in fact active).It was told that they had made a pact with the devil and flew through the sky on the backs of goats.They would mark the doors of the farms and houses where they would come and rob the place to warn the inhabitants.
