The Papal Hill (currently) known as "Death Hill", according to circulating legends, was a place where executions were carried out, hence the name - death hill.
There is another version ..
Children from the previous generation only had access to this hill.
Going down it, not only on a sled, could result in hitting trees and sliding into the streets in front of moving cars.
Some accidents resulted in death. And hence the name Death Hill.

A small hill on which a castle was built in the 14th century, which existed until 1526, when it was burnt down. Buildings in various forms existed until the 20th century, but until now, there is nothing left except legends. Currently, the hill has been called papal, and on it there are stones with carved sentences and a wooden cross. Before this form, they were called "the hill of death" with a genesis in the form of various urban legends.
