A solitary boulder called Lech's Stone stands at Stará Kouřim. The ancient Zličané supposedly made sacrifices on it. It is said still to hold magic power: anyone who circles it three times on one leg at midnight on Christmas Eve without taking a breath will see it open and reveal the treasures beneath.
