This was the popular name for a menhir about 135 cm high beside the road from Březno to Malnice. According to legend, a farmer once took it away to make a seat by his farm. He needed two pairs of horses to move it. At night, however, dogs gathered around the stone and howled pitifully. The farmer was eventually forced to return the menhir to its original place. Curiously, only one pair of horses was needed then. Together with the Stone Maiden near Rakovník, the Enchanted Girl marks an exact north–south line. The menhir lay for a long time in the ditch of the district road near its original site. In autumn 1986 it was taken to the museum grounds in Žatec.
