Through the Valley of Solitude you come to the Panenská skála/Devil's Rocks and Virgin, according to a legend, according to which he kidnapped her, was struck by lightning and turned into a rock, and his companions too: to the Raven Rocks. Right next to it is the rock relief “Marter Column”.

At the southern end of the Údolí samoty, at the gamekeeper's lodge in Radvanec, there is an inconspicuous hill with two strange sandstone rocks protruding from its summit. The more massive rock further west, the Čertova skála (Devil's Rock), rises steeply from the surrounding area to a height of about 30 m above the valley floor and is called Škuner (Schooner) by mountaineers; the slender tower next to it is sometimes called Pirát, but it is much better known under the name Panenská skála (Maiden's Rock). It has a very interesting, irregular shape and a small window in the summit. The Panenská skála and the nearby Havraní skály (Raven's Rocks) are linked to the legend of a knight who pursued an innocent maiden; while fleeing from him, she saved herself by jumping into a lake that used to be here. Today, where there was a lake, we only find the quiet meanders of a forest stream and a prepared spring with a wooden shelter on its bank. In the saddle on the path below the rocks, in a rocky outcrop, there is a niche of unknown age with an interesting popular depiction of Christ being whipped on a column, formerly known as the "martyr's column". Above the niche is a painted image of the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus.
