At midnight the apparition of a black knight appears in Lednice park and its surroundings. First the sound of hoofbeats is heard. Then a rider emerges, wrapped in a broad black cloak beneath which a skull can be seen. His black horse has only three legs. The ghost disappears into one of the Lednice ponds.
