A Gun Barrel above a Treasure

Near Roudné, in Tomkův Wood, once stood the small castle of Rammschissel. Nothing remains today. According to legend, its former owner buried a treasure here and had the labourers who helped him shot. He then went to war and was killed. On Palm Sunday an apparition of a gun barrel appears where the treasure is buried. Whoever sees and touches it can obtain immense riches, but must make the journey to and from the former castle site in silence. Many other legends were told in the area, of a White Lady as a messenger of death, various ghosts and hidden treasures.
