Large granite boulder which has nice shape of the Egyptian Sphinx. The stone is located west of the Kovářov village and is standing next to the tourist trail. Unfortunately these days it is behind a wire fence.
The close surroundings are rich in stones of interesting shapes. There are dramatic logan stones and also beautiful natural dolmen "Vesec Stone Gate".
