Kotkov fortress once stood in a meadow by the lower mill at Pečky. A robber knight allegedly owned it and amassed great booty. The fortress is long gone, but treasure supposedly remains under the meadow. Only someone who runs around the whole meadow on Good Friday holding their breath can find it. Secret passages allegedly linked the fortress with vanished Kandie below Dobřichov and the château at Cerhýnky.
