This is the name of a steep path from the so-called Lord's Meadow up the northern slope of Vosková hill. Local legend says the devil made it while struggling with, and finally fleeing uphill from, the god Perun. He gouged out steep ‘steps’, and the slope is often marked on maps as Čertovka, the Devil's Place.
