Stone monument in Slovakia
Impressive stone setting in the park of Štrbské pleso high-mountain resort. Object was discovered quite recently in 2021 by Mr Krajnak, identified as a prehistoric cultic and burial place and respectfully restored.
Stone monument of the size 7x14m is partly creation of the nature where man put the finishing touche. Large gap in the middle of broken erratic boulder could serve as a burial chamber. The object had circular enclosure made of stones.
Man made engravings can also be identified on the stones. Most recognizable are small holes aligned in line pattern on a surface of left boulder. Animal carvings which can be allegedly observed in good light I can't confirm.
It's a honest to say that deep archeological survey haven't been done yet. Only restauration and proper cleaning though with participation of some experts. Therefore it is also possible that the site is just remnant of an ancient quarry activity. However this does not correspond with stone wall much.
Anyway.. unusual stone object has great atmosphere being surrounded by Tatran high peaks. Literally. And is definitely worth a visit!
