Description: The cross is located in the Príslop area between two deciduous trees on a small rise to the right above the road leading to the Zátoka part and the settlements U Masnicov and U Kubalov. It is situated in an enclosure made of wooden planks with a gate in the front. The wood of the cross is painted dark brown. The body of Christ is in a natural flesh color, with a white garment around the loins, brown hair, and a beard. A crown of thorns, highlighted in black, is placed on his head, with red streams of blood flowing from underneath. The wounds are indicated in red at the points where the nails and hips are. Above the crossbeam is a white-gray plaque with an inscription in two lines: I. N. // R. I.
Surroundings: The immediate surroundings of the cross include a wooden enclosure, two trees, and to its left is a wooden gazebo. Local roads from Vyšný Kelčov to Zátoka and a path to the Zlámaná settlement intersect nearby. There is no other construction nearby.
Renovations: The first known renovation was carried out by Eliáš Tkáčik and Ondrej Hlavatík. Further repairs were done in 1988 by Pavol Ježík and Milan Šperka, and in 2019 by Ľubomír
