Jezvé · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

Mysterious Eagle Rock

To the right of the road between Jezvé and Stružnice rises the isolated, picturesque basalt cone Orlí skála, also called Oertelsbergl, from the fields. This conspicuous landmark has long been a centre of local legends. Treasures inside the hill supposedly open on Palm Sunday. A local version tells of a poor woman who, frightened by a dog's barking, left her child inside. A year later she found it alive and playing. Another legend says dwarfs lived in the hill.
