A fiery snake with a golden body, green shining eyes and a flaming tongue appears here. A smallholder from Hutě was once cutting timber on Třemšín. He saw a golden snake warming itself on a stump, took his axe and cut it in two with one blow. Fire burst from the wound. But the severed snake joined itself together, put the end of its tail into its mouth, formed a wheel and chased the smallholder.
