They themselves say: "Such places, in our opinion, deserve attention – not only because they have not yet been given any; but mainly because they are beautiful and exceptional. The second criterion for selection was our subjective feeling that we were in a location that particularly affected us. Whether through its picturesque nature, or something we cannot find elsewhere, or sometimes its unique character… and sometimes even the dark sides of the local historical events. Our pulse quickened noticeably. In this publication, we will explore the gloomy mystery of the village with the unusual name Pičín, where today we find a pair of little-known monuments, and we will take a detour to nearby Komárov to meet a woman who is exceptional, though not in a positive sense.
