**Logan Stone Vindiš** submitted by ladrin : Logan stone near Krásná Hora town (simply Beautiful Mountain) (Vote or comment on this photo)

A popular logan stone situated NW from the town of Krásná hora in the Czech Republic. A quite enormous piece of granite sitting on its bedrock with only a very small connecting spot. An interesting fact - the location is on the gentle southern slope of the hill "Na krámcích". That can be easily translated as "At the shops". Why "at the shops"? Read on for the answer.

During medieval times the hill was a place where executions were held. And such an execution was a big event and many people came to watch it. And many people need to eat. So the enterprising sellers built their small "shops" right on the slope below the gallows. So that it is ... "At The Shops".

With its length of 5 metres it used to be very impressive. But just in the last half of the last century its large part was broken by someone for unknown reasons. It is said that in past this natural monument dominated to surrounding fields and local kids used to sunbathe on it after swimming in a nearby pond.
