St. Antoine Hill looms over the village Blatnice pod Sv. Antonínkem.

The hill is named aftter the chapel od St. Antoine of Padua, which is situated at the top of the hill. The chapel was built in the second half of the 17th century and it is an importatnt place of pilgrimage. The tradition of pilgrimage was started immediately after the chapel was finished and it continues untill present. Beside the chapel itself the pilgrims also visit the spring of water, which in the past supposedly healed the sick. The hillsides of the St. Antoine hill are planted with vineyards and the top of the hill offers a beautiful lookout into the surrounding landscape.
