The Cistercian monastery is located on the right bank of the river Vltava, in the south-west part of the town of Vyšší Brod.
The subtext of the plot is a Czech legend of a sheer rockface that overlooks the Vltava river, near the old monastery of Vyšši Brod, where the Devil was said to have halted the building of the monastery by damming the Vltava, which then rose and flooded the site.
