Above the village lies a wildly broken wooded slope. The devil once tore it up. He allegedly committed an offence in hell, and Satan expelled him to earth, ordering him to plough the slope above today’s Nadslav alone as punishment. It was hard labour even for the devil. Finally he abandoned the plough and disappeared, leaving only steep furrows and heaps of stones.
