Ostrava · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The Red Sprite

Underground passages beneath the old château in Slezská Ostrava allegedly conceal treasures. An opening into a deep cellar is still shown. A sprite in a red cloak, called the Little Red Man, was seen here, as was an iron knight guarding treasures. Enormous barrels supposedly stand underground, with a golden duck sitting on them, protecting her young beneath her wings. A large black dog with blazing eyes also guards the treasure.
