An interesting and lesser known standing piece of quartzite in the bend of the road north from the village of Líšno, Bohemia. The stone is 120 cm tall and has a well visible carving of a cross on its eastern side. It could be a medieval cross stone but it could also be a prehistoric menhir.
Some sources talk about an ancient pagan sanctum in this place. According web records similar stones should be somewhere around but by the time I was there I was not aware of this, so I missed it. Perhaps next time.
