Jaroměř · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

Bells from underground

A valley stretches between Chlumek and Prašivka where a village supposedly sank into the ground long ago. Anyone who puts their head to the earth can still hear the bells of the sunken church and even human voices. A tree with bloody sap supposedly grew here for a long time, and nobody dared fell it.
