Today, Maria Loreto is also a symbol of reconciliation, a place where Germans and Czechs find each other. In April 2011, the board of directors decided on the project of the Great Cross of the Cross as a long-term project of the Foundation Fund and at the same time the preparation of a sign with information on the entire Way of the Cross. The parking lot at the place of pilgrimage Maria Loreto was chosen as the relevant location for the billboard. The last station "Great Way of the Cross" in Altkinsberg Hrozňatov, is the "Holy Sepulcher" with chapel hidden in the forest. In the chapels at the beginning of the 20th century there were altogether 127 wooden sculptures depicting the dramatic biblical story. Until our time only a few have been preserved in the museum depot. The sculptures in the open niche chapels protected a wooden fence. At the Holy Sepulcher were stone statues of the Easter cycle, which today decorate the meditative garden originally a cemetery with Maria Loreto.
