The first find of its kind in the Ore Mountains - a sacrificial site used from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. A three-meter granite formation visible from afar, where shards of a Štítary-type vessel from 1800 BC were found. Additionally, fragments of two jugs from the 14th and 15th centuries. Nearby is a partially damaged circular rampart of unknown (possibly Celtic) origin, with a stone in its center. To the east lies the so-called Swedish Fortifications - remnants of the winter quarters of the Swedish army from 1644. The rampart and two ditches are preserved to protect the canvas dwellings for 20 to 30 soldiers. On the way west, a small plateau features the Red Cross in memory of two children who froze to death here in a snowstorm in 1868.
