Kamenný pastýř, Prehistoric menhir in Klobuky, Czech Republic.
Kamenný pastýř is an upright stone monument of dark ferruginous sandstone located near Klobuky. The structure stands roughly 3.5 meters tall and weighs several tons, representing one of the larger prehistoric stones in the region.
The stone first appeared in military maps during the 18th century. Nineteenth-century researchers examined it and confirmed that it had been deliberately placed by human hands.
The stone holds a place in the local identity of Klobuky, where its name references a shepherd who vanished. Stories passed down through generations describe strange occurrences connected to the menhir on certain nights.
The menhir stands roughly 100 meters east of the road connecting Klobuky and Telce, with free access available throughout the year. The location is straightforward to reach and imposes no entry restrictions or time constraints on visitors.
Measurements conducted around the summer solstice have detected geomagnetic field anomalies in the immediate vicinity of the stone. This phenomenon remains relatively overlooked when compared to other aspects of the site.
