Croix Saint-Hubert

At this spot, in the forest northeast of Lviv, the trees give way slightly, creating a clearing where, at an altitude of 420 meters, stands the small sacred monument known as the "Croix Saint-Hubert." A low stone wall and a wooden fence create a small "sacred precinct," at the center of which is the well-preserved cross. At the very bottom of the lower section is the well-known scene from the Life of Hubertus, featuring a stag with a cross between its antlers. Above it, at the very bottom, are reliefs of two figures, the one on the left identified as a monk with his tonsure and habit; between the two images, the year 1786. Above this, rises the actual cross, which also bears the body of the crucified Christ.
