Sculptured Stone in Bohemia Unusual megalithic monument of Czech Canada can be found on the top of the hill in the woods about 2 km west of the Kunějov village (For the details about area of "Czech Canada" see the topic "Menhir Mosty"). Two quite large and flat granite boulders lying on each other.
While the bottom one seems to be natural rock outcrop, upper circular stone was obviously artificially carved into the ideal plane. The object truly looks like stone table. It was considered as an ancient sacrificial place or sanctum even in 19th century. In that times the place was known as "Steinschale" (Stone bowl). The old records also mention some sort of stone chairs around. Surrounding terrain was most likely modified. From the northern side where the slope is, some stone terrace can be identified.
The place is quite unknown to public and is located out of tourist paths. I really enjoyed the visit.
