In the forest on the right side of the road from Vanovice to Svárov stands a row of stones resembling horses, carriages and people. They are called the Petrified Wedding. At midnight, neighing horses, cracking whips and the cheerful laughter of wedding guests can supposedly be heard here. A wedding procession turned to stone at this spot after an old man cursed it when the guests refused to give him a ride.
