Where the Gothic castle once stood, the enchanted ghost of the former lady of Svrčov supposedly appears. She can be released only on Good Friday, and only once a century. A huge fiery dog then appears carrying a glowing key in its mouth. It must be used fearlessly to open the cellar containing the hidden treasure.
