For kids
Představ si, že se vrátíš zpět do doby, kdy naše země byla plná hradů a tvrzí, nejméně 4000 kostelů a kaplí a tisíce vesnic s dřevěnými chalupami.
Zde, na Fialníku, bylo kdysi velké hradiště. Myslíš si, že byl to nějaký obyčejný hrad? Ne, tohle byla velká pevnost, kde žili první čeští vládcové a jejich vojsko. Byla tu i velká kaple, kde se konaly důležité bohoslužby.
Ale co se stalo s touto krásnou tvrzí? Po staletích zapadala do lesa a zanedbána byla. Jenom socha Božího muků zůstala jako poslední památka na toto historické místo.
