Descending the steep path from Zelená hora Château towards Klášter, one sees many scattered boulders and rocks, one standing upright. They supposedly form a petrified shepherd and his flock.

On the anniversary of their petrification, shepherd and flock briefly return to their original living forms, and his heartbreaking cries can be heard.
