Sedloňov Black Cross

Sedloňov Black Cross - posted beneath the Sedloňov Hill gap in a height of 1105m. Originally, wooden cross paint in black with brazen Crist body in a memory of Austrian Minister of farming Jeronim count von Mansfeld stand here. At sunset, reflection from brass was seen as far as to Opočno castle (Mansfeld´s residence). Log hut next to the cross was used as a refreshment room for workmen building the border fortification in 1936-38.
