Legend of the name of the city of Mukachevo

Once long ago, on the place where the Transcarpathian city of Mukachevo was located, the foreign prince lodged with the army. On the picturesque plain of the Danube valley, among mountains, he ordered to construct unapproachable the lock fortress.

Construction of the lock was difficult and continuous, people hard worked that to construct it. They had to carry carts and hands to carry the earth to fill the high mountain for a fortress construction. The prince was very tough to people who worked over construction. Thousand days filled the castle mountain until it reached the necessary height which the prince wanted. And then at top of the mountain constructed the lock - strong, unapproachable fortress. All this costed to people many tears, bloody sweat, heavy sufferings and torments. Therefore people called the city of Mukachevo.
