Klášter Hradiště Nad Jizerou · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The monastery's underground passage

It supposedly led north from the old church crypt in Klášter beneath the so-called Kaplanka and ended somewhere beyond Pachouň. Several monks reportedly escaped through it during the siege of 1420 and found shelter at Bezděz. Until recently a spot thought to be the sealed entrance was visible in the crypt.
