It is also worth taking a short walk into the valley of the Szentkúti stream, on the walk along the charming stream we reach a canyon marked with a sign in a few minutes. To the right, according to legend, the great teasing of the king took place in the rift of St. Ladislaus.In 1091-92 he fought serious battles with the troops of King St. Ladislaus in Cserhát with the Moldavian Kun army.Legend has it that they were surrounded by the enemy, and in today’s Holy Well Valley, thirsty thieves tormented soldiers, and the king set out alone to explore the area. He got his horse named Szög into a spur and jumped over a gaping gap in front of him. When he got down, water flowed from my first horseshoe. He touched the rock with his battle ax, and water erupted at the point of touch.According to another legend, the Cumans who persecuted St. Ladislaus pushed the king into a valley, before which there was even a huge chasm. However, the king had a good horse, jumping over the abyss with a quick and firm decision. Crystal-clear water bubbled in a thin stream from the traces of the horseshoes.According to a third legend, St. Ladislaus jumped into this valley from the top of the distant Ágasvár.Either way, it is a fact that the Szentkút stream has cut itself into a canyon-like valley in several places over the millennia. Layers crushed by volcanic activity in the area can store little water. On the steep slopes, the water runs down quickly, so there are very few springs in this part of the Cserhát. This is why the valley of the Szentkút stream is a special place, where several sources of drinking water flow along the sandstone, limestone and andesite deposits. Some of the sources in the area have lukewarm water due to volcanic aftermath. In several places in the valley of the stream you can see beautiful rock outcrops and traces of water erosion work.
