    Tips

    August 7, 2022

    In the 19th century, the peak of Velký Zvon was called the Kocs Viewpoint, and the nobility came here for Sunday excursions. Below the summit you can still see the so-called Kot`schen stones, rocks with carved inscriptions. They contain the names of the owners of the Koc Manor from Dobrše and their guests, as well as dates of visits from 1803 to 1894. At that time, the top of the bell was not yet overgrown with trees, and from here there was a beautiful view of the entire Bela region .

      The highlight of the Kotschen stones is no longer displayed in the rod planner,
      Shortly before the fence at the military tower, turn right in approx. 150 m to the stones worth seeing.

        At the gate on the right through weeds and nettles, you will find it there
