The Underground Passage

According to legend, a castle once stood on Kamenný vrch (432 m) above Ludvíkovice, sinking into the ground one day with all its inhabitants. Děčín Château was supposedly linked to it by a secret passage. Its exit was said to be in the Loreto Chapel above Děčín’s square, approached by three steps from the south and north. People said a treasure was buried on the former castle site and that at night a White Lady wandered nearby, the ghost of the former lord’s wife.
