A treasure opening on Good Friday supposedly lies in the castle where Master Jan Hus stayed in 1412–1414 after leaving Prague and wrote his Postil. Below lies the Lord's Meadow, bordered by a slope on one side and the Kozský stream and woods on the other. During the Passion the castle rock opens and gold coins pour out, rolling over the meadow into the opposite slope, where they vanish. An evil steward's spirit also appears and leads people astray.
