Near the village stands an enormous lime tree, supposedly originally the staff of St Procopius, who planted it in the ground here. The saint allegedly once lived here as a hermit and covered the so-called Spring of Misfortune on Hradišťanský vrch. Nearby flows St Procopius’s Spring, once the destination of many pilgrimages.
