Lískovec · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The Guardian in Scarlet

A treasure is said to be buried “under three lime trees” in Lipina, a part of Lískovec also called Karlova huť. The ghost of a red-clad man with a white beard guards it. Several locals once decided to dig it up. A terrifying apparition appeared and asked which of them he should hang first. They fled in fear, and nobody has tried to recover the treasure since.
