Kunětická Hora - Hrad · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The Sleeping Army

According to old legends, Kunětická hora was once one of the seats of the Knights Templar. A version of the tale of St Wenceslas’s army, sleeping inside the mountain, is told here. The hill opens once a year, when it is possible to look into its halls and stables. (See Blaník.)
