Velký Malahov · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The Devil's Seat

In the forest near the village is a rock with a seat carved high up. The Devil had it carved for himself. Passing here was not advised even at noon, let alone midnight. The rock was also haunted: sometimes the Wild Hunt could be heard, while at other times little fiery figures ran about.
