Klácelka (the seesaw - stands above on a rock pillar next to it) is a religious/national work of art, arranged in a rock courtyard, with a grotto and sculptures on all sides, unfortunately blocked from all sides.
Klacelka and the area in front of the cave called Blanik are considered Levý's most important works. The interior of Klacelka consists of scenes from the Czech fable Ferina Lisak
Patriots F. M. Klacel (who was Antonín Veith's guest at Liběchov Castle in 1844; the book was published in Leipzig in 1845) (he used the cave as his natural study) and in which he indirectly criticizes contemporary Czech society. The bat was considered a symbol of backwardness, the stork with a syringe parodying doctor-charlatans and fraudsters, the turkey as a symbol of pompous financiers, the donkey as a teacher who dumbs down Czech children in German schools, ... The immediate starting point for Klácel was Goethe's poem Reineke Fuchs from 1793.
The area in front of the cave (Blanik) is decorated with reliefs depicting Jan Žižka with a mace and sword, St. Procopius with a stick and shield, and Jan Zasmucky, the alleged leader of the legendary Blanik Knights, slumbering on the legendary Blaník Mountain.
Levý did not forget the sleeping Blanica army and the dwarven figures making weapons for the Blanica knights. In a romantic mood, the legendary Blanica troops and the historic Hussite troops prepare for the joint defense of the homeland.
