Expressive collection of stone crosses in the little park of the Cheb suburb of Podhrad. Seven pieces are placed here, though some of them are just a fragments. The crosses were moved to this location at the end of the 19th century due to works on the construction of the railway. And so an interesting cross lapidary was created. Nice place.
