Jarošov Nad Nežárkou · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The Wild Hunt at Kruplov

At the bridge over the Žirovnička leading to Kruplov and on the slope above it, a terrifying enchanted huntsman races at night, driving dogs and spectres. A tale tells of a young farmhand who found a grain sack here. When he untied it, a pack of savage dogs burst out and ran barking up the hillside. Snares were then laid all around him, and he struggled to reach home unharmed.
