Lysá hora
Ivančena
You are standing at the unconventional scouting monument, Ivančena. It is a
mound made up of stones and is a symbol of patriotism, bravery and friendship.
The mound is a memorial to the execution of 18 scouts on St George’s Day who
joined resistance activities during the occupation. As a memorial, a wooden
cross was erected and the stone mound built here on 6.10.1946. Each year on the
weekend closest to St George’s Day, those who want to honour the memory of
the scouts climb up here and place a stone on the mound. The stones on the mound
here do not only come from all over the Czech Republic, but literally from all
continents and there is even meant to be a rock here from the moon, which was
brought here by Neil Armstrong.
