Hill, Spring, Chapel: Notes on Kremesnik
~ Saturday, May 14, 2022 ~
Křemešník rises to 769 metres above the Pelhřimov valley and carries mixed forest to its summit. It is the highest point in its subregion of the Vysočina highlands. The hill has a spring, a founding legend involving a flooded mine shaft, and a Baroque pilgrimage church that was built on the site of a Gothic chapel that was built on something older, as these things usually are.
