On the partially wooded hill (398 m) is situated a prehitoric fortified settlement.
Some of the foundings from the hill, as well as the fortification, are dated to the older bronze age (2.200 - 1.950 BC), other foundings are from the iron age (800 - 400 BC). At the top of the hill was found a vast burial ground with a statue of a horseriding person and a coin with roman Caesar Marcus Aurelius (2nd century AD).
The fortification is nowadays still noticeable - at some places the fortified line is almost 2 m tall. Near to the main entrance to the core of the settlement was recently built a wooden palisade with a guarding tower. Inside of the settlement you can meet several wooden statues of the prehistoric wariors. From the top of the hill is n amazing lookout to th surrounding landscape - especially Dolnomoravský úval (NW), futher away the Chřiby Hills and part of Horňácko region (E). The lookout to the other directions is covered by the surrounding woods.
