A mysterious legend about the nobleman Leduquin and the evil elves

Back in the 19th century, this place had the character of a wild rocky labyrinth, entwined with the legend of Leduquin, a French nobleman, and evil elves. According to legend, the nobleman escaped from his native country, France, during the French Revolution and reached the Tiské stěny. He allegedly brought with him a great treasure, which he buried somewhere in Tiské stěny. After a while, he wanted to marry him again, but the labyrinth of rocks did not give it to him, although he searched hard for many years, until he went mad. According to legend, the treasure is guarded by evil elves. Anyone who ever tries to search for the treasure will pour stray spices into their pockets, and the way out of the labyrinth will be forbidden forever.
