Křížová hora (562.7 m.a.s.l.) is a prominent ridge extending from Jedlová to Jiřetín. It is here that you will find probably the most photographed Stations of the Cross in Šluknovsko. The origins of the pilgrimage site on Křížová hora are connected with rumors about the miraculous cross. Prayer at the cross restored health to Anton Donth in the mid-17th century. The first cross was allegedly erected on Křížová hora in 1699 by Michael Gürtler, a parish priest from Jiřetín. Pastor Gottfried Liessner, who in 1759 had eleven brick Stations of the Cross, a wooden chapel with the 12th and 13th Stations, and the Rococo Chapel of the Holy Sepulcher built here. The Way of the Cross begins at the foot of the slope with a monumental staircase with stone columns. The original wooden chapel of St. The cross on top of the hill was replaced by a stone structure in the 18th century. It was completed in 1796. Since the 1990s, the entire pilgrimage site, including the Stations of the Cross and the Garden of Gethsemane, has been gradually renovated.
