The valley was once a site of the glass industry and shaped by people for centuries. With the Iron Curtain, this changed fundamentally: the border with the Federal Republic was strictly guarded and the area on the Czechoslovak side was inaccessible to the population.
The memorial cross commemorates the people and fates connected with this border region.
