Treasures in the Nearby Valleys

At one spot above the stream in Podťaté, two wagonloads of gold are buried. Soldiers supposedly left them here while marching to Poland. They never returned, and the money remained. A little blue flame appears above it, especially in autumn during Advent. Another treasure is said to be buried at Bzové, on a hill in the stream bank. Yet another lies in the rock below Kopeček beside the road to Babská, supposedly a great cauldron full of ducats. A large treasure is also hidden in a cave in Baraní mountain, north of Karolinka. A version of the legend tells of a woman who left her child here for gold and could see it again only a year later. Other robbers' treasures are supposedly concealed in the Fox Holes beyond Žihlavná, and another at Strunžiska is guarded by the ghost of a headless black man who roams at night with a lit pipe.
