Between Slavkov and Doubí spreads the deep Haid forest. A castle once stood there, whose miserly lady hid a huge treasure on a clearing. After death her ghost appeared and frightened travellers. Later she guarded her treasure as a little girl in red stockings, at the place called Little Red Riding Hood. She held a red ribbon with an ancient key hanging from it. A shiny little chest stood beside her.
