Kunčický bludný balvan, Natural monument in Kunčice, Czech Republic
Kunčický Findling is a large granite boulder composed of coarse-grained rock with yellow-gray and pink tones throughout its surface. It measures approximately 3 by 2.5 by 1.5 meters and weighs around 17 tons.
Workers discovered this granite boulder in 1954 during foundation work at a local foundry. The find led to its protection and designation as a geological monument.
The boulder represents a tangible connection to the Ice Age, showing how glaciers moved massive rocks across the landscape. Today, the site offers a direct way to understand the geological forces that shaped this region.
The boulder is located near the southern entrance of a former foundry complex that is accessible by public transport. The site has a relatively flat layout that makes reaching the stone straightforward.
This is one of the largest known erratic boulders in the Czech Republic and owes its preservation to a chance discovery during construction work. The exact source of the granite and the distance it traveled during the Ice Age remain partly mysterious.
