Category:Jesenický viklan, Geological formation in Jesenice, Czech Republic.
The granite rocking stone stands between Velký rybník and Krtský rybník lakes, weighing approximately six tons and featuring a distinctive heart-shaped profile.
First documented in 1821, this natural formation remained mobile until the 1960s when vandalism damaged its foundation, requiring subsequent restoration efforts.
The stone carries a folklore tale of two hearts merging into one, symbolizing a forbidden romance between local residents in ancient times.
Visitors can reach the formation via the Jesenicko educational trail, which connects multiple natural attractions and provides informational signs about the geology.
In 2014, engineer Pavel Pavel successfully restored the stone's rocking capability through a precise 60-minute reinstallation process.
