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.

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.

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.

Zbuzany Stone submitted by ladrin on 16th Dec 2015. Carving of a greek or an Ankh cross
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Nice and among the local community well known standing stone in sum. About 90cm tall hard sand stone, 25cm wide. The stone has uncertain history. First record about the stone is from 1785. There is an interesting carving of an greek or perhaps the Ankh cross on the back side. Local residents seem to be very proud of their little menhir, because there is 6 streets in total called "Next to the menhir... 1-6". Rumours say that an old druids shrine stood in the place of the village.

Smečno Menhir submitted by ladrin on 27th Dec 2015. 110 cm tall, 70cm wide and 25cm thick slab from slightly ferriferous hard sandstone. On the northern side is carving of the latin cross. There is a ĺocal folklore related to the stone about merchant murdered by bandits. It is not clear, whether it is an old menhir with newer carving or medieval propitiatory cross.

(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Standing stone in the centre of the village Tuchlovice. It can also be a medieval propitiatory stone. Anyway to stone was replaced here from its origin location to prevent it before road construction. To be honest I would picked better location for such monument. Now it is hidden in the shadow of not much fancy shop building so it is really hard to notice it at all.
The other stone mentioned in the description is lost for ever I am afraid....

Mesicni menhir submitted by ladrin on 9th Aug 2016. "Moonstone" of the mysterious Javorník hill.

Log Text: The most prominent of the Javorník stones and the first documented. The stone monolith is up to 190 cm tall and from the different sides has different shapes. Sensitive people say that it is a place of great energy, though its southern side is allegedly very negativ. The stone is well signposted, tourist trail leads there and there is also a little parking slot nearby.

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: 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.

Heiliger Stein (Mitterretzbach) submitted by ladrin on 11th Apr 2020. Absolutely amazing place near the Czech-Austrian border..
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
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: 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.
