On a rock above the valley stand ruins of an early Gothic castle. Beneath it, in the deep Hladomorna cave, lies the enchanted treasure of the local robber knight. He supposedly forfeited his soul to the devil, and dark powers have guarded the treasure ever since. A mysterious little man appears here in a black cloak, a broad hat and with a white pot. Many have tried to take the treasure, but none has succeeded.
