Just a few steps from the place of ancient hillfort "Hradiště" can be found an interesting cluster of white stones called "U oveček" (can be translated as a "At the sheeps"). Strong outcrop of the quartzite core on the small hill has to attract people ever since.
In past the stones were set to form a cross by the monks from the nearby monastery. Later, however, the cross was destroyed and folk creativity named the place "At the sheeps".
