Three sandstone crosses stand at the edge of rock plateau. They are not dated, only legend says, that Duke of Wallenstein once returned home to his nearby castle during dark night, but he lost the way. Suddenly his horse stopped and duke realized, that he is only one step from deep fall out of the rock plateau. As thanksgiving, he built here three crosses.
Tri piskovcove krize stoji na okraji skalni plosiny. Jejich datovani je nejasne, pouze legenda pravi, hrabe Valdstejn se jednou vracel v noci na svuj hrad a pritom zabloudil. Najednou se jeho kun zastavil a kdyz se hrabe pozorneji podival, zjistil, ze stoji pouhy krok od kraje skaly. A jako podekovani tu nechal vztycit tri krize.
