Krkatá bába, Natural monument near Lubě, Czech Republic

The Krkatá bába rock formation stands above the Lubě stream valley at 344 meters elevation, displaying a distinctive head-like shape on a long neck.

The first written record of this rock formation dates back to 1073 in the founding documents of the Opatovice Monastery.

Local folklore tells of a bride who turned into stone during her wedding ceremony, giving the rock formation its present appearance.

Red marked hiking trails lead through the valley beneath the rock formation, providing direct access to visitors from the village of Lubě.

In the 1930s, planners modified the route of a proposed highway to preserve this geological formation, leaving only traces of preliminary earthworks.
