The Golden Calf in Damil

West of Tetín rises Damil hill (355 m), which contains a golden calf. Only an honest person can claim it, coming on Good Friday while the Passion is being read in the surrounding churches. As soon as the person sees the towers of those churches, Damil's summit opens with a great noise, and the golden calf shines at the bottom.
