Somewhere in the Tiské stěny rock formations, 'beneath an overhang', lies a treasure buried by the French nobleman Charles Louis Leduquin while fleeing his homeland after the revolution. Neither he nor anyone else has found it since. The loss affected him so deeply that he fell into quiet delusion and wandered through the nearby villages. He treated farmers' cattle in return for food. He died at an advanced age in a farmer's home in Chudeřov.
