The ridges of Velký Kosíř (442 m) and Malý Kosíř stretch between Čechy pod Kosířem and Slatinice. In the surrounding villages, tradition says that a treasure hidden in Malý Kosíř appears on the earth’s surface every year on Good Friday, while the Passion is being read in nearby churches. A tale tells of two elderly local men who tried to dig it up. But they broke the traditional prohibition and spoke while lifting it. The riches then sank back into the earth.
