Radhošť was a constant attraction for all kinds of “sorcerers,” much as the Giant Mountains attracted the so-called Italians. Many local legends tell of them. They came to investigate Radhošť’s treasures, usually with help from local residents. One of the best-known tales describes silver icicles inside the mountain, from which an orphan once broke off some pieces. Robbers’ treasures are also supposedly hidden at several spots. Radhošť has three sets of “holes”: the first are said to lead to Velehrad, the second to Jablunkov and the third all the way to Turiec. Surroundings:
