An image of the Virgin Mary stands above a ditch by the road from Žilov to Nevřeň. Several legends are associated with it. In particular, it is said that the headless lord of Vrtba from Nekmíř appeared here at night in a fiery coach. He had unjustly taken the nearby forest away from the people of Ledce.
