Treasure beneath the sign of the left hand

Southeast of Jesenice near Drahotuš, the Baroque hunting lodge Svatý Hubert stands in the forest with symmetrically arranged service buildings and a radiating network of paths in the game park. Stag hunts were once held here. East of the lodge, about halfway from Soseň to Chmelištná, are remains of former silver mines, now completely filled in, and a destroyed village now barely visible. A treasure of gold and silver supposedly lies here beneath a stone bearing a carved human left hand. The tale was so firmly believed locally that several collective attempts were made to recover it in the previous century.
