The church of St. Rosalia, built in the 19th century, is situated between Bernartice and Borovany village. In June every year, St Henry pilgrimage takes place here. The legend about the origin of the chapel says that two soldiers attacked a girl in the nearby woods in 1674. When the girl tried to defend herself, the soldiers threw send to maid’s eyes and she got blind. But when she washed her face in the spring water, she would see again. Nowadays, the stream is situated in the church. We do not know if the legend is truthful, but the place became a popular destination place, suitable both for trekking and cycling. The spring with its healing water is possible to visit whenever, the church is opened only occasionally (e.g. pilgrimage and other events).
