Between Chotěšov and Bílenec rises Vlčí kopec (482 m). The medieval castle of Šprymberk once stood at its foot. Only a ditch and the local name Na zámeckých schodech remain today. A White Lady's ghost is said to appear on the former castle site. Nearby stood the cursed isolated farm U Ullmanů. A tale says the White Lady led a poor man from that farm underground, where a black dog guards treasures. He could take as much as he could carry, but all his pockets tore under the weight of the gold. In the end he picked up only a few golden fragments and ran away.
