Hradiště hill, or Purberk (594 m), bears traces of prehistoric settlement and is linked with legends of hidden treasures. A dreadful black dog guards them, while all kinds of spells protect the gold in the underground passages. Little blue flames supposedly burn above them on Palm Sunday. A version of the legend tells of a local man who went to recover the treasure at night. But he broke the required silence, and with a crash the treasure vanished into the depths of the earth.
