The town of Jedovnice is located 25 km north of Brno in the district of Blansko in the South Moravian Region. The surrounding forests of the nature park form the gateway to the Moravian Karst.

Drawing Mgr. Jitky Vávrová on the front page of the May/June 2016 Jedovnické zpravodář depicts the FJI emperor and the Spanish king Alfonso XII in front of a field tent in the background and a memorial stone, which is today located in the corner of the spruce enclosure on the bank of the stream near the Vrbo pond near the dam. The stone is about 75 cm high above the ground, 25 cm wide and 11-13 cm thick. According to D. Varner, it is made of culm offal or dust. On the obverse are the letters KFIE in a frame and below them the year 1879. Between the two lines is also an indistinct additional text "den24Apr". So it is dated April 24, 1879. KFIE expresses KAISER FRANZ IOSEPH ERSTE, i.e. Emperor Francis Joseph the First. For the day April 24, 1879, an explanation was found by PhDr. Jiří Doležel - on that day, Francis Joseph I and Empress Sisi celebrated their silver wedding, festivities took place throughout the monarchy. So this event is commemorated by a stone at Willow Pond!

Around 1994, a stone slab by cottage ceramicist Růzena Pecherová was planted next to the memorial stone. It is 55 cm high and 95 cm wide with a die-cut red colored text:

"At this place, during the maneuvers of 1883

found the field tent of the emperor Fr.

and his guest King Alfonso of Spain.'

The story of the "Jedovnice commemorative stone" is described in much more detail in the Jedovnice newsletter May-June 2016
