Secret passages led from the Carthusian monastery founded by Albrecht of Wallenstein, now a prison, towards Zebín, Lháň and Rumburk. The monks supposedly concealed their treasures in them, including a precious statue of Christ and twelve apostles, all made of pure gold. The treasures are said still to remain there. On dark nights, bright radiance shone up from deep underground at the place where they had been stored.
