The Modlivý důl (Prayer's Ditch) is a romantic rocky valley, approximately 1 km long, cut deep into the sandstone base of the Slavíček (Slabitschken) and Tisový vrch (Eibenberg) mountains on the northeastern edge of Svojkov (Schwoika).

This rocky valley was originally called Smolný důl (Pechgraben), as the local charcoal burners also maintained pitch kilns in which they produced wagon grease. Only later did a pilgrimage site develop here, the origins of which are told by various legends. According to one of them, the young knight Jaroslav von Svojkov voluntarily died here with the beloved daughter of the brewmaster from Velenice (Wellnitz) because the knight's parents were not fond of their love. Another legend tells that a young man killed his rival here.

Highly recommended!!!
