Libomyšl · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The Mystery of Hrádek

Treasures are allegedly hidden in the hill called Hrádek. Some researchers regard it as Kazi’s burial mound, and it is probably entirely artificial. A treasure seeker is said to have heard blows from the other side of the cellars, as if someone else were digging towards him. A White Lady appears here, guarding the treasures. Hrádek is said to be made entirely of gold inside, and only the ninth generation of a particular family from Libomyšl can win its wealth. A fiery barrel and a flaming coach carrying devils also appeared here. A building with a church belonging to the Jesuits supposedly once stood on the summit. The treasures inside the hill are also attributed to them, and a version of the Opatovice treasure legend is told here. A secret underground passage led northeast from Hrádek, where a fortress once stood, to the opposite rise of Španělka.
