A stone in the nearby forest bears an impression of the Devil's back. The Devil once dropped it here at the evening Angelus while hurrying with it from Sázava to Smrčná. Another Devil's Stone lies south of Trpišovice, below the wooded Melechov hill (709 m), near the Rohule recreation centre. It is a granite rock reached by a forest path, about half a kilometre to the left of the narrow road from Rohule to Rejčkov. Two stone basins on the difficult-to-reach summit platform of the Devil's Stone deserve particular attention.
