To the right of the road between Jezvé and Stružnice rises the isolated, picturesque basalt cone Orlí skála, also called Oertelsbergl, from the fields. This conspicuous landmark has long been a centre of local legends. Treasures inside the hill supposedly open on Palm Sunday. A local version tells of a poor woman who, frightened by a dog's barking, left her child inside. A year later she found it alive and playing. Another legend says dwarfs lived in the hill.
