You may know it: there are people you meet in certain places, somehow inevitably, and you think to yourself: someone will build a statue of this person one day. And even if it doesn’t happen, they’ve been in your head for a long time.

In the Šluknov region, it is undoubtedly Klára Mágrová. She took care of Rumburk Loreta for a long time, she contributed to the tradition of Loreta festivities, and from Loreta it is not that far to the Stations of the Cross, of which there are fourteen in the Šluknov region.

She is the co-author of the popular educational brochure “Stations of the Cross of the Šluknov Region / Kreuzwege im Schluckenauer Gebiet” (together with Iva Jabůrková) and is listed as one of the implementation coordinators of the project, which processes the broad historical and cultural heritage of the Šluknov Region, including the aforementioned Stations of the Cross.

That was also the reason why we met on Annaberg, a hill between Lipová and Lobendava, where one of these stations of the cross is located. The conversation was interesting and if you listen to it, you may come to the same conclusion as us. Namely, that we should talk to Klára Mágrová more often.
