The “German” bell in the Short description
T he bell was cast in the 17th century by Daniel Thiem. Originally it was supposed to hang in the bell tower in Jaroslaw, but it cracked and was never used. Since 1972 it has adorned this small romantic place, which is rarely visited by tourists.
According to a legend, it grants wishes, but you have to make some effort and perform a ritual beforehand. Instructions for use can be found in our detailed description.
