Tři kříže

Tří kříže are three stone crosses standing on Kaplisko hill on the eastern side of Nové Město na Moravě and making the place visible from far away. From here the view opens toward the surrounding landscape with meadows, forests, and the valley in the distance.

The crosses were erected in 1832 after residents requested them as thanks for being spared from cholera and plague epidemics. This community vow shows how deeply religious faith was rooted in the response to health crises at that time.

The crosses mark a place of local religious devotion and attract visitors especially during Easter and religious celebrations. They stand as a sign of the community's gratitude for surviving hardship and are now recognized by walkers as an important landmark.

The site can be reached on foot from the evangelical church building, from where a paved path leads across a meadow to the crosses. On nice days it is ideal for a walk with good footwear, though the ground can become slippery after rain.

At the site there is also an educational path with five stations providing information about local history and the nature of the region. This route connects several points in the landscape and makes the place into more than just a religious monument.
