Ivančena

The stone cairn memorial stands 4 meters tall and 10 meters long, constructed from approximately 300 cubic meters of gathered stones at the mountain slope.

Founded in October 1946, this memorial commemorates five members of the Silesian Scout Resistance who were executed by the Gestapo in April 1945.

Czech Scouts make annual pilgrimages near Saint George's Day on April 23rd, playing national anthems at noon to honor the resistance members.

Visitors can reach the memorial by taking trains to Ostravice or Frýdlant stations, then following marked hiking trails to the mountain location.

The memorial contains stones from every continent except Australia, including a small fragment brought back from the Moon by astronaut Neil Armstrong.
