Nice, 80cm tall propitiatory cross, near the peak of the Kaňk Hill. Local folklore calls this interesting standing stone The Hag. The hill Kaňk is the ancient mining location in the area of Kutná Hora town, most famous in 15th century for the silver mining. Traces of the old mining activity cannot be overlooked here.
