Paganish stones / Pohanske kameny - Megalithic Monuments on Waymarking.com

ENG: A natural group of massive boulders with a few shallow rock bowls.

In 1895 the Berlin naturalist Professor Wirchov researched pagan stones as part of the excursion of the Lusatian Anthropological Society. A remark on his visit is in the rock memorial tablet.

Although it is probably the only protected rock outlook in the Frydlandt region, unfortunately the surrounding growth obscures the scene. So the pagan stones are more likely interesting geomorphological objects or a walking goal near Visnova.
