Vedrovice · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The Devil's Hole

In the nearby forest is an opening where the Devil lived. The rocks groaned under the pressure of his immense body. A miller freed the enchanted souls here from hell's power after finding a suitable millstone. It bore marks of forks, knives and plates. When he began to carve it, the stone crumbled to dust and white doves flew from it. At the same time, the rocks stopped groaning.
