Treasure hunt
One of the fairy tales in connection with Klevevž Castle says that a treasure was buried deep in the ground where the cold store was. Even Janez Volčič, in his work Zgodovina Šmarješka fara pri Novem mesto, mentions three tubs of money, which are said to be still waiting at the end of the cave, in the underground cave under the castle. Namely, the Turks attacked the Kleve Castle several times, as a result of which the nearby residents took their valuables to the underground cave under the castle. They were killed or taken into slavery by their enemies, so their possessions remained hidden. It is said that it is still waiting at the end of the cave, but where no one dares to go. An elderly man who climbed deep into the cave tried to reach them. The cave narrowed so much that in the end he had to crawl on his stomach, his light also went out. Suddenly, the cave widened into a spacious hall full of bats, where the man felt the stone benches. It seemed to him that someone sighed three times, he was afraid and ran away from the cave (Volčič, 1887, pp. 62-63, Klevevž, Biser naravre zi rich history).

Once upon a time, Klevevž Castle stood on a gigantic hollow rock. It was erected in 1265 by the bishops of Freising and served many owners until 1942, when it was burned down.
