There You can see some photos I had taken in Karlovy Wary (June 2000).

Some people write on the walls and stones
"There was Mr.So-and-So" to mark they were there. And one
serbish bishop leave here a big orthodoxy
cross instead that. I think that's far better.

And that cross has the whole legendary story. When Peter the Great was in Karlovy Wary he said he will ride up the hill on the horse (he liked to do what nobody else tried). But the horse cannot go up itself and of course, with emperor on the back. Peter does not turn back - he had taken the horse (as is said - on his own back) and bring it up. The cross is at the place that was reached by russian emperor (and this place was claimed as russian). |
