    Hiking

    The memorial site consists of polished dark stones with the names of communist prisons and a central vertical stone made of light granite with an engraved inscription, into which a metal plate with a white inscription is inserted - the inscription on the stone is dedicated to the victims of the communist regime, the inscription on the plate is specifically to the victims of the Hory Hostýnské group (contains several factual inaccuracies). The monument was unveiled on September 3, 1994 in the presence of representatives of the Confederation of Political Prisoners and political representatives of the government and parliament.

    The resistance organization Hory Hostýnské was, like the better-known Svetlana, founded on the foundations of the anti-Nazi resistance – the Jan Žižka partisan brigade. It was established in June 1948 and its first commander was Josef Čuba (1893–1951) from Rajnochovice. The group prepared for a possible nationwide anti-communist coup (including collecting weapons, which it hid in forest caches). In addition, it helped persecuted citizens in the region, spread information through leaflet campaigns, and intimidated local zealous communist officials.
