The treasure of a robber knight is hidden beneath the fallen castle’s ruins. He had an only daughter, horrified by his cruel deeds. After the robber’s death she lived here alone and was eventually enchanted among loathsome reptiles. Her voice is sometimes heard within the castle. People say she guards its treasure. Only someone who withstood attacks by dreadful phantom reptiles for three nights could free her and win the treasure as well.
