Megonky, Natural monument near Čadca, Slovakia.
The sandstone formations of Megonky contain perfectly shaped stone spheres ranging from 10 to 260 centimeters in diameter spread across the landscape.
The stone spheres were first revealed in 1988 during quarry excavations, with approximately 30 formations originally distributed over a 15-kilometer stretch.
Local residents initially collected numerous stone spheres for garden decorations, while others damaged the formations searching for potential gold deposits inside.
Visitors can access the site using GPS coordinates 49.49665, 18.72257, where they will find wooden benches and information panels explaining the geological formations.
The Megonky site represents one of the largest concentrations of regular stone spheres in Europe, with similar formations found only in Costa Rica and New Zealand.
