  1. Hidden Gold in Boulevan

    Share Share Post
    There is gold hidden in Leaca in the village of Boulevan. It is hidden in the ruins of an old castle
    It is said that three men were robbing the people, and that they had a lot of money stored up. One day the robbers were robbing a man and more robbers came and killed the other three robbers. No one except the three robbers who were killed knew where the gold was hidden, and so it is believed that the gold is still there.
