Its popularity among Gradec`s first inhabitants was described in Šenoa`s novel "The Goldsmith`s Gold", the description of Magda… She was called the Paprenjak Woman, for in the whole town there was no one to match Magda`s skill in making Paprenjaks… However, Paprenjak threatened to fall into oblivion!
