ladrin visited - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Locally popular menhir can be found by the fields west of the village called Kamenný Most (translate as a Stone Bridge). Almost one meter high stone with visible carving of latin cross.
In fact until now there are doubts whether it is "true" prehistoric menhir or medieval stone cross or even milestone. An interesting event happened in 1896 when two human skeletons were discovered in close vicinity by one of the locals. After that some sort of archeological survey was conducted therefore but without any significant success.
Geologist who studied the stone in 80th of last century came finally to conclusion that the stone is menhir. And so the stone is known today. Be that as it may, the stone simply stands there and I personally like it..
0.77 Meter tall Christianised Menhir in fields.
