Ancient Cross in Bohemia

Although this stone cross is quite easy to locate, I did not find it until my second visit. It can be be found in the wood behind the gasoline station, about 1km from the german border.

This nice stone monument is one of the first registered crosses, under the number 35. Tall granite cross of latin type has 170cm in height and belongs to oldest in this region. It stands in its origin location probably, but there is no folks tale or chronicle record associated with.

There is hardly visible carving of unknown meaning - cross in the circle surrounded with another interrupted circle. The symbol resembles Celtic sun cross. By the way, nearby settlement, part of the Cheb town, has a name Svatý Kříž (Holy Cross).
