At the intersection near the train station "Vlcice" stands wayside and has been since 1718. He says here, at the intersection of three roads into Pilníkov to Vlcice and Trutnov, former stop on the pilgrimage route, perhaps with benches, but that was long ago ...

However, since the wayside Sprawling and some parts were missing (cover plate with a cross, statue), was designed by the architect George Stratil in June 2010, proceeded to their complete reconstruction. First there were, just below the place where the original works are located, dug a massive foundations. On these bases were moved remnants of the original cross and what was missing was recently completed. And that includes statues of the Virgin Mary, which was located behind the glass. People on corrected wayside soon got used to stand and began to appear lighted candles.

Unfortunately, however, it only lasted two and a half years. In February 2013 a statue of the Virgin Mary had been stolen and damaged the actual monument. In October 2013, a memorial was again repaired to its current form.
