CZ:

  • Litinový kríž s telem Ježíše stojí na vrcholu hory Brezník na Šumave.

  • Kríž pripomíná Sv. Vintíre, který pod vrcholovou skálou žil jako poustevník až do své smrti v roce 1 045.

  • Na jeho památku se vrcholová skála nazývá Vintírovou. Esoterici jí prisuzují magickou moc.

  • Pod skálou na míste bývalé poustevny stávala až do padesátých let 20. století kaplicka. Roku 1992 došlo k její obnove.

  • Od kríže je nádherný výhled na protejší horský hreben se Ždánidly, Vysokým hrbetem a Debrníkem.

EN:

  • Iron cross with the body of Jesus standing on top of the mountain Brezník in the Sumava mountain ragne.

  • Cross commemorates Blessed Gunther (Vintír), who lived under the peak rock as a hermit until his death in 1 045.

  • On his memory the peak rock is called Gunther´s rock. Esoterics say that this rock has a magical power.

  • Under a rock on the site of the former hermitage was small chapel. This chapel perished in the fifties of the 20th century. The chapel was restored in 1992.

  • From the cross is a wonderful view across the mountain ridge with Zdanidla, Vysoky hrbet and Debrnik.
