The lady of Vrabinec was once attacked, bound and thrown into a deep cellar. The castle was immediately set on fire. Since then, from Christmas until Epiphany, a weeping White Lady has wandered through the ruins. She then descends into the countryside and flits along the Elbe's right bank. Wherever she steps, pink flowers supposedly colour the snow.
