The legend of the dragon Trutnov is set in the reign of Prince Ulrich. He said he sent to the border of his vassal kiln, Mr. Albrecht Trautenberga in order founded a new town and faced robbers. Two bricklayers his handcraft suites, some Firnera Paul, Nikolaus Schlofsky, searches for a rock quarry got into deep forest. After long wandering they heard the strong cries raven. At first he ignored the voice of bird, but cackle stop. Men went to crying and he brought them to a wild gorge, above which stood an old lime tree. Curious searching, what hides in the dark ravines. To my surprise spotted fifteen cubits long plaza, thickness fairly strong tree. His mouth opened wide, his eyes flashed with fire, tail helical rear up and his body covered with large horny scales. Surprised and scared, fled masons, however, failed to indicate a dent in the path tree. Knight Trautenberg first witness craftsmen laughed half-dead with fear. But when a long sworn before him, he decided to investigate the matter himself. He ordered the families to take them strong chains and ropes. Is then solidified around the tree on the hill, which was from that time called lying hill (Liegenhügel), which was later garbled on the false Hill (Lügenhügel). At the other end of the rope attracted lamb and ran down to the beach devour. The attempt succeeded, monster climbed out, grabbed the bait and was using chains and ropes withdrawn from their dens. They can not escape, was firmly tied to trees. You had to be killed reptile. Quickly because they made a strong wooden gate with iron spokes, which left the animal with ropes to fall so that they could not move. Then he threw rocks at the gate, one meeting at the head and the other on the tail. At the same time around a fire. When the reptile died, knight Trautenberg commanded, download at his skin.

Povest o trutnovském draku je zasazena do období vlády knížete Oldricha. Ten prý poslal do pohranicních hvozdu svého vazala, pana Albrechta z Trautenberga, aby zde založil nové mesto a celil loupeživým tlupám. Dva zedníci z jeho remeslnické družiny, jakýsi Paul Firnera, Nikolaus Schlofsky, se pri hledání skalního lomu dostali do hlubokého lesa. Po dlouhém bloudení zaslechli silný havraní krik. Zpocátku si ptacího hlasu nevšímali, ale krákání neustávalo. Muži šli za krikem a ten je privedl k divoké rokli, nad níž stála stará lípa. Zvedave pátrali, co se skrývá v temné strži. K svému prekvapení spatrili patnáct loktu dlouhého plaza, tlouštky dosti silného stromu. Jeho široká tlama byla otevrena, oci sršely ohnem, ocas se šroubovite vzpínal a telo mel pokryto velkými rohovitými šupinami. Prekvapení a vylekaní zedníci utekli, neopomneli si však cestu znacit záseky do stromu. Rytír Trautenberg se nejprve svedectví strachem polomrtvých remeslníku vysmál. Když se však pred ním dlouze zaprísahali, rozhodl se, že záležitost prozkoumá sám. Narídil celedi vzít sebou pevné retezy a lana. Upevnili je pak kolem stromu na pahorku, jenž byl od toho casu nazýván Ležícím vrchem (Liegenhügel), což bylo pozdeji zkomoleno na Lživý vrch (Lügenhügel). Na druhý konec provazu upoutali jehne a spustili dolu, aby je plaz pohltil. Pokus se zdaril, nestvura vylezla ven, chytla se na návnadu a byla pomocí retezu a lan vytažena z doupete. Aby nemohla uniknout, byla pevne privázána ke stromum. Nyní musel být plaz zabit. Rychle proto zhotovili silnou drevenou mríž se železnými špicemi, kterou nechali pomocí lan na zvíre padnout tak, že se nemohlo hýbat. Potom naházeli na mríž velké kameny, jednu hromadu na hlavu a druhou na ocas. Zároven kolem rozdelali ohen. Kamenné bríme zvíre zamácklo, žár ho schvátil a vysílil a smolný kour ho nakonec zadusil. Když plaz zcepenel, rytír Trautenberg prikázal, at stáhnou jeho kuži. Ostatní cásti tela lidé zakopali. Potom kuži na slunci vysušili a vystavili ji k obdivu všech nahore na staré zámecké veži.
