Mammoth Hunters' Mass Grave - an information board is located at the entrance to the area with the wandering boulder, opposite the Mammoth Hunters' Memorial on the estate in the Forebridge. In these places, in 1894, a world exceptional find was discovered by the explorer K. J. Mašek - a mass grave of a population of mammoth hunters with twenty human skeletons. Its upper level is marked on the tree trunk next to the information board.
