Mysticism — Fox Mountain (Mountain of Leo)
According to legend, witches, sorceresses, and devils gathered on Fox Mountain, and at night there were sabbaths and unclean forces appeared; in some tales, this is where night passersby were "led."
🔎 How it really was: Documentarily, Fox Mountain is a sandy hill near the center of Lviv, which city reviews describe as a place with folk mystical fame; the cited sources provide legends rather than historical evidence of witch gatherings.
👤 The legend of Fox Mountain is recounted in modern publications by journalistic reviews of Lviv's mystical places, including Novyny.LIVE, 032.ua, and Lviv.travel.
🏳 Lviv at different periods belonged to the Galician-Volhynian state, later the Polish kingdom, and later the Austrian Empire / Austro-Hungary; its inhabitants were Ukrainians, although the city was under foreign rule.
