Skala smrti, tez zvana Rytirsky skok, se nachazi na levem brehu ricky Svitavky asi 1,5 km jizne od Kunratic u Cvikova. Uprostred asi 15 metru vysoke skalni steny je vytesan vyjev padajici divky pronasledovane rytirem na koni. Relief znazornuje mistni povest o mlynarske divce, kterou honi rytir. Divka radeji voli skok ze skaly nez zneucteni, podle povesti si vsak svuj zivot zachrani. Oproti tomu zloduch se i s konem zriti ze skaly a zahyne ve zdejsich bazinach. Vyjev v roce 1910 vytvorili dva mistni obcane, clenove kunraticke sekce Horskeho spolku pro nejsevernejsi Cechy, ucitel Karl Beckert a cetnicky strazmistr Karl Bundesmann - pametni deska upominajici na tuto udalost se nachazi pod reliefem.

Ke skale se dostanete od silnice po zelene znacce (vyznamova odbocka). Cestou minete nekolik sklepu vytesanych ve skale, ktere slouzily k tezbe pisku, pouzivaneho pri brouseni zrcadel v tovarne v Lindave.
