Kreuzberg (Cross Mountain)

Highlight • Religious Site

Since the 18th century, the mountain has been an important place of pilgrimage. In 1790, the north-eastern part of the mountain slopes was reforested, but through the path of the Stations of the Cross, there is a beautiful view to the north over Jiřetín and Dolní Podluží.

There is another view from the northern slope of the mountain from the so-called wild view and from the grassy summit of the ridge (592 m).

Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Highlight • Religious Site

At the summit stands the Holy Cross Chapel, dating back to 1759. The tower was only added to the chapel in 1886.

The interior, a Rococo statue of St. Lawrence and a painting of the stigmatization of St. Francis, dates from around 1800. The image of the Helpful Virgin Mary and an old wooden crucifix come from the original wooden chapel.
