Mysterious Surroundings

About a kilometre from the town rises the romantic rock viewpoint Na Jehle, or Nolde. In ancient times dwarfs settled here. Sometimes they could be seen secretly emerging through hidden passages beneath tree roots. Tradition says that on Šibeniční vrch above the town, a beautiful local girl named Zuzanka once caught a black horse laden with bags of money at night. She led it to the square, where the hellish steed pressed a hoofprint into a stone that is still visible.
