On the edge of the mountains, on a hill called Vítkov vřšok, is the Stations of the Cross with the Calvary and the cave of the Virgin Mary of Lourdes. We have not yet been able to date the settlement of Calvary, and monuments are written about it in our Dubovské noviny (published since 2001). The stops of the Stations of the Cross will take you along the edge of the mountain next to the vineyards and the hill around the cave to the three crosses of Calvary. The peace and quiet of the place offers to stop, meditate and reflect. It calms the heart and calms the mind.

Cave of Our Lady of Lourdes
The Cave of the Virgin Mary of Lourdes is located on the steep slope of Vítkov Hill. It was a place where someone had a bunker during the war. According to the statement of Mrs. Mária Valentovičová, they found him with the administrator of the parish, Foltán, when they went to see a possible place for the construction of the Stations of the Cross. After digging up the rock, Jozef Valentovič built a cave there. The statue of the Virgin Mary was brought from the church. It was a burnt clay statue worn through the procession. In 1976, it was broken by vandals. In 1990, the cave was rebuilt and enlarged. The statue of the Virgin Mary was donated by Mária Valentovičová. On September 9, the cave was consecrated. In r. In 1991 there was made a grid and a bench in the area in front of the cave.
