Tales and legends :
Little Castle of Louzek On the cragged rocks above Malše are the ruins of castle Louzek, whose owner was a cruel and evil knight. Once a pilgrim came from Jerusalem to warn the sinister lord to repent in the face of righteous punishment. The knight paid no heed and threw the poor messenger into the castle cellars to be scourged by snakes, scorpions, toads, lizards, and rats. When the prisoner finally died, this hideous scourge proceeded to infest the entire castle. The horrified castle inhabitants fled, and the cruel knight was torn apart, still alive, by the poisonous slew. From that day on the castle has been uninhabited and the last owner, who wanders the ruins shrieking and moaning, is beyond help.
In the ruins of the castle was hidden a den of a horrrible band of thieves. From the cellar through an underground corridor all the way to an old linden tree, the bandits led a wire with a bell. When the bell rang, they jumped out from hiding and robbed, killed, and buried the poor traveller under the linden. After the band had broken up, their treasure remained in the castle corridor. Whoever finds a piece of the old linden and coridor can take the treasure, but of course must devote half of it towards godly purposes.
