At the turn to Spišská Pohradie, you will find the idyllic baroque chapel of St. Cross from 1675. The chapel is a dominant feature of the area and offers a beautiful view of the countryside. The chapel rises on a travertine hill, which has a height of approximately 25 meters from the base to the top. This heap is called Greybeard. The mineralized water on Siva Brada springs up in several places, but most prominently in the north and south of the hill. In the past, there was even a geyser that reached a height of several meters. Today, there is only a calm fountain of bubbling water left here, which is caused by the release of carbon dioxide. Thanks to its uniqueness, Sivá Brada was declared a National Nature Reserve in 1979. You can watch a nice video here:
