The mountain is also nick named Jezerní Hora (Lake Mount) or Prsa Matky Boží ("Bosoms of the Virgin") for its two peaks. The saddleback between both tops was called "Wolfish Abyss" and the legend says, that the miraculous shooter lived there in the 17th century. This story was the topic of the opera about magic shooter by the composer Karl Maria Weber.
