A unique basalt hill (former volcano) with excellent 360° views, protected as a natural monument Provodínské kameny. The rock, when viewed from a distance, resembles the richly curled head of a sleeping young girl, facing the sky. It also depends on the lighting, and sometimes it is truly beautiful, with even the closed right eye visible. According to legend, the petrified girl was to marry the devil. On older maps, it is referred to as Lysá skála, previously also known as Čertův vrch.
