The 15th-century stronghold Krvomlýn, named after its legend, stood on a steep cliff in Kokořín valley above the pool by the former New Mill in Harasov. Only ditches and traces of rock chambers with two windows survive on the 31-metre cliff. The legend tells of the lord's ruthless revenge for his violated dead daughter. He built a millwheel below a scaffold and swore that his executed enemies' blood must turn it, which eventually happened. Every night the beautiful daughter's ghost appears at the cliff's foot.
