Another beautiful standing stone from the deep woods of sacred mountain of Kleť (for the details about the mountain see the topic "Hag Menhir").
The name "Capuchin" comes from its resemblance to the monk in the hood. Menhir is standing on the western slope of the mountain, below the road and near from the pension building.
