Bretschneiderovo ucho, Relief sculpture in Lipnice nad Sázavou, Czech Republic
The stone relief carving measuring three meters in height depicts a giant ear embedded into the rock face near a quarry lake.
The sculpture, unveiled on June 23, 2005, forms part of the National Monument of Eavesdropping, created by artist Radomír Dvořák and local stonemasons.
The name references a secret police character from Jaroslav Hašek's novel The Good Soldier Švejk, reflecting themes of surveillance in Czech society.
The sculpture is accessible via marked hiking trails, with parking available near Lipnice Castle and viewing points across the water surface.
The ear relief belongs to a triptych including two other rock carvings: the Mouth of Truth and Golden Eyes, all carved into former quarry walls.
