Liptáňský bludný balvan, Glacial erratic monument in Liptaň, Czech Republic.

The pink-brown granite boulder measures 220 by 130 by 120 centimeters and weighs approximately 4,700 kilograms, standing near Liptaňský Stream.

The continental glacier transported this massive rock from southern Sweden to its current location during the Saale glaciation period, between 250,000 and 800,000 years ago.

The boulder represents a geological testament to the ice age migrations and received official protection status on April 26, 1966.

Visitors can access the natural monument freely throughout the year by following marked educational trails from Liptaň village across the railway tracks.

The fine-grained porphyritic granite contains mineral components including quartz, plagioclase, feldspars, biotite, and magnetite in its composition.

Location: Liptaň

Inception: April 26, 1966
