According to folk tradition, a castle stood on Vražda hill southwest of Litošice. One night its owners were treacherously murdered by the lords of Lichnice. Their headless ghosts allegedly still walk here at midnight, searching for their heads. They will never find them, for the knights of Lichnice took them home and fed them to dogs. The victims’ blood is said to have worn a great cleft between the rocks, now called Hluboký.
