A legend about a snake with a little golden crown is also associated with Vlašim Château, as recorded by J.V.Grohmann in his Bohemian Legends. Anyone coming to the great oak in the middle of the château park before sunrise on the feast of St Peter and St Paul, without looking back on the way, can supposedly obtain the crown set with shining diamonds. But they must run with the prize across nine field boundaries so that the snakes cannot catch them.
