An icon of the "Black Madonna of Czestochowa" was discovered by chance in a tree hollow in 1994. It had already grown firmly into the bark of a beech tree and must have been in this place about 50 years previously.
The quiet and peaceful surroundings, located in the middle of the forest on a slope, give this place a special atmosphere and invite passers-by to stop and pray. Due to the large number of visitors, a real small altar has been created over the years and the "BikeStore" company has donated several benches for it.
