The memorial landscape of the village also includes a monument to those who fell in the First World War. It commemorates eight residents of Dobrá Voda u Pacova who died in the war. Anyone who wants to understand a stay not only through the landscape and activities, but also through the history of a place, will find another clear point of reference here. Together, these sites show how religious tradition and remembrance of local history stand side by side in Dobrá Voda u Pacova. They thus complement the location at the northern foot of Jalový vrch with a specific connection to the village's history.
