Many legends surround the prominent Špičák summit (545 m) on the German border. For example, during Lent and Advent bluish flames appear on the stone blocks lying at the top, pointing to a hidden treasure guarded by dwarfs. A similar dwarf-guarded treasure is also found on Zámecký Hill near Varnsdorf.
