    This sandstone altar can be found in a little-used ravine between sandstone blocks: it depicts the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt. A picture of St. Joseph with the donkey, on which Mary is sitting with the baby Jesus in her arms, is carved into a flat niche measuring over 2 x 1.5 m; the whole picture is surrounded by angel heads. This relief was probably also created by Franz Schier, of whom the statues and reliefs on the Calvary near Mařenice are. Source: luzicke-hory.cz/mista/index.php?pg=zmtridd

      Depicting the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt. A picture of St. Joseph with the donkey on which Mary sits with the baby Jesus in her arms is carved into a shallow niche measuring over 2 x 1.5 m; Angel heads surround the whole picture. This relief was probably also created by Franz Schier, who probably also created the statues and reliefs on the Calvary near Mařenice (Grossmergtal).

        Hidden in the forest. Be careful not to walk past!
