A very nice place with a view of Pálava, Pavlov and the surrounding area. VN Nové Mlýny is also in the palm of your hand. For a fee: there is a cash desk at the entrance. However, a QR code for online payment is published here. The ruin is otherwise freely accessible!

A life-size metal statue of a woman with angel wings, holding a large bunch of grapes in her hands, was created among the vineyards near Dolní Věstony. Her gaze is directed towards the tower of the Vestonic church. The statue was blessed by provost Pavel Pacner.
