Doubravská Hora - Hrad · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The Mysterious Rider

Mysterious knights have slept within the mountain for seven hundred years. They await the darkest hour for the people of Bohemia, when they will come to their aid. The stream at the foot is often clouded by waste from the stables inside the mountain. Stones on the slope bear what look like horses’ hoofprints. An hour before midnight a mysterious rider appears at the surviving gate of the original castle, carrying his head under his arm. He then rides across Černý Pond towards Supí hora.
