Not only one cross greets the hiker here, but a group of three crosses - as the name "Three Cross Mountain" suggests - we find on this mountain. A wayside cross or summit cross commemorates the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, namely the middle one. The other two are not here without reason: According to biblical tradition, Jesus Christ was not condemned to death by the cross and executed alone, but together with two criminals (see, for example, the evangelist Luke 22:33): + "They came to the place called the Place of the Skull; there they crucified him and the criminals, one on his right and the other on his left." +

The architectural gem of the mill is the millhouse, modified today as a social and gathering space. From the summer of 2013, it should be equipped with games for children. On the ground floor of the mill are built toilets with a bathroom in retro style, accessible from the ground floor of the half-timbered cottage. There is cold and hot water and there is a bathtub.

The valley is located between Malý Žernoseky and Velemín, below the Lovoš hill. It leads through the river valley of the Milešovské stream for about 5 km and the valley reaches a depth of 50-100 m. Lovosic to Teplice, unfortunately it no longer runs due to landslides in 2013. There is also a bridge over the Opárenská údolí with a bridge of 275m. On the way through the valley you will come to the Opárenské mill, the construction of which dates back to 1649. Below the mill there is a cross stone with a stone with a plaque and an inscription from 1680 dedicated to the victims of the plague. Here you will also find the stone Imperial Stairs facing Lovoš at an altitude of 303m. It is also worth visiting the ruins of the Gothic castle Oparno, located in the village of the same name on Ostroh. The remains are preserved here original walkway and part of the castle palace. It was built in the first half of the 14th century, but since 1520 it has remained an uninhabited castle. The ruins are freely accessible.

From April to September, you can relax pleasantly and find yourself at ease on the beautiful outdoor terrace. Our chefs prepare a new menu for you every day. We are sure that everyone will find something for themselves and you will find each other well. If you can find a place to sit? Sometimes it is really full, but the capacity of 100 seats is the maximum we can offer. The staff will do their best to ensure that you have your chosen food and drink on time. Sometimes it takes a little patience, but the gourmet experience and sitting under the treetops will be worth it.
