The town of Šilperk, as it was formerly called, is said to have stood beneath three castles connected to one another by secret underground passages. In one of them, on the right bank of the little Březná river at a place called V zámcích, the ghost of an armoured knight appears. He is said to ask for his tongue to be torn out so that he may be released from his enchantment.
