Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Local name: Hrob neznámého vojína

The grave of an unknown soldier located in the building under the Jan Žižka Monument from Trocnov on the Vitkov hill.

In the room decorated with mosaics depicting Czech and Czechoslovak soldiers, there is a sarcophagus with the remains of one of the soldiers killed during the fight for the pass and a participant in the battle of Zborov from World War I. There is a small exhibition of military and uniforms at the Grave.
