Hrádek near the village of Klabava, also called Starý zámek, is said to have once been the seat of a robber knight who amassed great treasures here and pledged himself to the devil. The fiend provided a hideous giant to guard the riches, and perhaps the giant still watches over them underground. Only a tiny stretch of masonry remains of the castle today.
