    The "Gold Crown" at the Hermitage Golf links is a cave. It is said that no one can succeed in getting inside because the door keeps closing and if you can succeed in getting in, you cannot be sure in getting out again. In this cave is a gold crown, but no one can touch this crown for if you go near it, it keeps moving away.
