Standing Stone (Menhir) in Bohemia, Czech Republic
Another standing stone in the area of Prague's Vyšehrad of an ancient origin. I think there are four of them in total, together with Basilica Stone, Rotunda Stone and Devil's stone. It is very easy to miss this one without taking any notice, because it is almost hidden between bushes. The Menhir is a roughly cut piece of hard sandstone, 1 m in height.
Another interesting stone can be found just a few metres from here, but in this case it is rather piece of window from cathedral reconstruction.
