    Hiking

    At the summit stands the Holy Cross Chapel, which dates back to 1759. The tower was first added to the chapel in 1886.

    The interior, a rococo statue of St. Lawrence and a picture of the stigmatization of St. Francis, dates from around 1800. From the original wooden chapel comes the image of the Helpful Virgin Mary and an old wooden crucifix.

    Hiking

    On Křížová hora (563 m a.s.l.) above the village of Jiřetín pod Jedlová, a place of pilgrimage was established in the 18th century connected with the legend of the appearance of the Savior on the cross. The Way of the Cross is usually the first tourist hike from Jiřetín towards the top of Jedlová hora.
