The Radiša stream flows below the castle, crossed by a small wooden bridge. The Turks once reached this point on their campaign. Their leader stood here and called on the lady of the castle to surrender. She drew her bow and shot an arrow straight into his chest. Wounded and bleeding, he crossed the bridge and fell into the stream, which carried his dead body away. His bloody footprints remained on the bridge, however, and supposedly still appear in moonlight, casting a golden, blood-red gleam into the darkness.
