Rumcajs

[1][3] Rumcajs settled in a cave in the forest and gained his signature attributes: a tall red hat, a beard with a bee swarm, and a pistol loaded with acorns.

[5] Although the time of the events is never explicitly stated in the stories, from several mentions of "Král Fricek" (King Frederick William IV of Prussia), one may assume the mid-19th century.

[7][8] During 1969–1996 a one-hectare patch of forest, somewhere between Jičín and the villages of Čejkovice of Podhradí municipality, Vokšice, and Šlikova Ves was labelled Řáholec in the local forestry stand map.

[13] Since 1967, the Jičín branch of the Czech Tourist Club has organized an annual walk across the Bohemian Paradise named "Pilgrimage after Rumcajs".

With the collapse of Communism, attendance sharply declined as Czechs gained the right to unrestricted travel abroad, but interest later rebounded, and in 2019, there were 8,907 "pilgrims".

[6][18] A minor character named Rumtzays (Redbeard in the English translation) appears in Blood and Wine, a 2016 expansion pack for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Two albums were released by Supraphon in German, narrated by Walter Taub [de]: In 2017, on the 50th anniversary of the first Rumcajs TV show, Supraphon released the CD album and audiobook "Rumcajsova loupežnická knížka & Vánoce u Rumcajsů" ["Robber's Book of Ramcajs & Christmas with Rumcajs"] narrated by Vojtěch Kotek, which includes previously unpublished stories found in the writer's archives.
