Log Text: Nice stone standing at the junction just by the route. Probably milestone or propitiatory cross. The only confusing thing is engraving of perhaps maltese cross, what is truly unusual in this area.

According existing sources the stones are not in its origin location. They were relocated and rearanged after one was hit by the bus and broken sometimes before 1975.
Owner of the house is accommodating and sympathizing with stone-enthusiast so the permission is no problem at all.

Drombohilly Stone Circle submitted by kenwilliams on 23rd Oct 2005. Drombohilly is a truly magnificent circle, though a visit is not for the faint hearted. After any spell of rain the terrain here is treacherous, barb-wire, slippery rock filled streams, shoe-sucking bog... Bring a trusted pair of wellingtons.

Dromroe submitted by frogcottage42 on 15th Mar 2010. This circle is in very good order and was next to the Beara Way path but as seems to be the case in many places locally the farmer has denied access and the path is now diverted 400m to the North.

Log Text: Well...that's something! The only structure of its kind in this part of the Europe.... an authentic pyramid! Despite several researches, this circular step pyramid remains one big mystery.
Some people say it is medieval or maybe newer construction and part of some romantic natural park. Other researches estimate its age for 2000 years. Some say that it is an ancient germanic sacral place, other suppose this as a newer guarding outpost. According to some measurements an exceptional energy lines intersect here but I cant confirmed that.
Until the year 2000 the place was just a pile of stone debris. After that it was researched (without any significant conclusions) and reconstructed. Average in the base is about 17m and the heigt is up to 7m. Estimated used material is about 2000 tons of stones.. such a work for only romantic imitation.. To me the place is simply beautiful, enigmatic place worth a visit.

Log Text: The area of Heiliger Stein is very well preserved today with great respect. There is a small partly nature chapel and the reconstructed foundation of abandoned church. Below the main stone there is a chain of spherical black stones which ends with a small circle. If I understood the information sign in german well, these black stones are modern datation and it should designate energy-relevant locations.

Log Text: Locally well known and favourite stone monument. Large granite boulder with several typical oval depressions, some may call it "prophetic" or "sacrificial bowls". Archaeological survey in 60s found some ancient working tools in close vicinity which fact can support therories about prehistoric sanctum.
Some nice folk tales are related to this particular stone. One is explaining where the name Herrgottstein - The stone of the Lord, came from. It says that these bowl like depressions arised on the seventh day of Creation. Three wishes will be fulfilled to whoever sits there.

Log Text: Locally popular menhir can be found by the fields west of the village called Kamenný Most (translate as a Stone Bridge). Almost one meter high stone with visible carving of latin cross.
In fact until now there are doubts whether it is "true" prehistoric menhir or medieval stone cross or even milestone. An interesting event happened in 1896 when two human skeletons were discovered in close vicinity by one of the locals. After that some sort of archeological survey was conducted therefore but without any significant success.
Geologist who studied the stone in 80th of last century came finally to conclusion that the stone is menhir. And so the stone is known today. Be that as it may, the stone simply stands there and I personally like it..

Log Text: So called "Killybeg standing stones" is either big mystery or simply a little mistake. There are no such stones in this area except Saval More pair.
There used to be a lonely menhir in the field about 150m SW from the Saval More stones. Some old photos can still be found on a web that can prove it. This "Kyllibeg" stones was probably mistaken for this vanished menhir.
Unfortunately even the lonely stone doesn't exist anymore. Most probably was stolen and moved to unknown place. I talked to local lady resident who confirmed that. She said that "the stone stood there since ever. And suddenly disappeared by the day.. roughly about 5 years ago.".

Log Text: Czech Karst is a romantic and wild area roughly 130 square km south west of Prague. Mainly limestone rocks are rugged with deep gorges, canyons and karst caves. Despite the fact that caves in the Czech Karst are primarily smaller in size, it is the one of the most important region of speleo-archaeological interest in the Czech Republic. There is around 80 registered archaeological localities from practically all periods of the prehistoric and historic eras.
Superb Koda Cave is easily accessible rock spaces in this area. It has produced many findings mainly from the Neolithic and Eneolithic times. But also very interesting early to middle Bronze Age pottery pieces of an unusual nature, probably from the Alpine region.
Koda Cave is very popular tourist destination and is well signposted.
