Kořenov · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

Enchanted apparitions

Sokolí skály rise above Polubný, part of Kořenov. A young noblewoman is supposedly enchanted inside. Her rescuer will find a sword and, after many adventures, a huge treasure. In the 1870s, according to the source, a mountain dweller really found an old rusty sabre here. He eventually lost his reason, believing himself the girl's liberator, but nobody ever saw the treasure. In the forest between Kořenov and Zvonek mountain a white figure appears. It is said to be the miller's daughter, who saw her beloved with another woman, climbed a rock and rolled a boulder onto him. Unable to rest in her grave, she now wanders the woods.
