The road from Sobětuchy to Rabštejnská Lhota is lined by young tree lines. The last gliders circle overhead before returning to the nearby airport, which is also used by the army for skydiving.
By blending two spatial crosses, a simple object with four niches was created. The context of the place brought the consecration of the chapel to four patrons. They are represented by stylized symbols oriented to all world sides.
Czech land - Saint Wenceslas - Saint Wenceslas crown, airport and army - Archangel Michael - sword, fields and farmers - Saint Isidore - spade, cyclists and hikers - Saint Kitts - pilgrim stick.
Chapel is designed as a weldment of 20 mm thick corten sheets, under which there is a stainless steel box containing a message for furture generations from local children and the village leadership.
The chapel is complemented by a bench with a label briefly describing the symbolism used.

Chapel weight = 550 kg
Material - weldment of corten sheets th. 20 mm, seat made of oak beams
