Where the road to Kněžpole branches off the Jarošov road, Hrádek hill slopes down to the roadside. A castle with many underground passages supposedly once stood here. At night a roaring begins around the hill and a dog's howling comes from the earth. People therefore avoided it after dark. Many apparitions appear, including a strange carriage with four black huntsmen and a black-clad lord and lady. Treasures are also said to be hidden within.
