Picturesque Zbecno, village firstly mentioned in chronicles in 1005, has a nice Baroque church of St. Martin. The cross, accompanying the church you can find at its northern wall. Is from massive wood, more than 6 m tall, with traditional painted Christ on metal plate. The wooden cross is recent (2001), copy of old one... but Christ (an example of typical naive rustical painting) is older, probably from 19th century.
