Dobrá Voda · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The Lady in Unbleached Linen

A woman’s ghost appeared here, called the Lady in Unbleached Linen. Following a witch’s advice, she supposedly sowed flax and made from it a shirt that she never took off. Everything then went her way; she grew rich and cruel to her neighbours. She even moved her boundary stones onto other people’s land with impunity. Her treasure is supposedly buried in the Dobrá Voda woods. At noon and midnight she walks through the forest from boundary stone to boundary stone, sighing. She is most often seen on Panina louka or by Turkův palouk. But only someone born on the first Sunday after a new moon can see her.
