The sandstone cross measuring 125 x 68 x 25 cm probably dates from the period of the Thirty Years' War, ie from the first half of the 17th century. Cross was build on the place, where was killed local gamekeeper by Swedish soldiers. The cross stands in the forest below Kameňák, next to Klimešova studánka, above the Kudlovický stream. In 1907, the researcher František Přikryl mentions it. The hunter Vincenc Zahradník was supposed to discover it. It is registered in the catalog of the Stone Crosses of Bohemia and Moravia under number 1553.
