In which=where?

I often confound "in which" with "where" when they are used in attributive clauses. It seems the same to me,
As in one example here:

The great Heel Stone is associated with a legend where/in which the devil is said to have once found a monk hiding among the stones.
Can you use "in which" and "where" interchangeablely? Thanks in advance.

Thank yo. I get it. Then in the quoted sentence can I replace "in which" with "where"?
