Boží kameny is a 621 m summit in the Šumava foothills between Kraselov and Tažovice near Strakonice. The sources record no ancient sanctuary or early-culture use; the hill is documented only as a named summit reached by a forest path from Kraselov via the Dřetiny homesteads.
The name Boží kameny, "God's stones", is used for the hill between Kraselov and Tažovice; the summit itself is a group of boulders in the forest above the Dřetiny hamlet. Local people have long linked the stones with the name, and the site is passed on walks between the two villages.
From Kraselov head toward Tažovice; after about 1.5 km turn right onto a forest road toward the Dřetiny homesteads. After roughly 400 m you reach a crossroads, continue straight to the edge of the forest, then follow a footpath about 200 m to the stones.
