Zkamenělý zámek, Natural monument in Česká Cikánka, Czech Republic.

The rocky formation spans 3.06 hectares at 765 meters elevation, featuring granite outcrops and migmatite formations in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands.

The site became a protected natural monument on June 2, 1977, within the Žďárské vrchy Protected Landscape Area registration system.

Local inhabitants named these rock formations Zkamenělý zámek as their shape resembles a petrified castle with distinctive tower structures.

The location allows rock climbing activities during winter months and connects to marked tourist trails maintained by the Czech Tourist Club.

A natural window formation exists in the main rock tower, while ancient fortification trenches indicate early settlement patterns above the rocks.
