Devět křížů, Memorial site near Lesní Hluboké, Czech Republic
Nine wooden crosses stand along the old road between Prague and Brno, marking a location connected to a tragic wedding procession event.
Benedictine monks from Rajhrad monastery erected the first crosses at this location, with the earliest written record dating back to the late 18th century.
Local folklore tells of a deadly conflict between a jilted lover and a wedding party, resulting in nine deaths at this forested location in 1540.
The memorial site is situated near exit 168 of the D1 highway, with the Hotel Annahof and a rest area providing services to travelers.
Archaeological research conducted in 2012 by Masaryk University scientists found no human remains at the site despite centuries of tragic legends.
