Volarské menhiry, Stone circle in Volary, Czech Republic.
The Volarské menhiry is a circular arrangement of standing stones located in the forested landscape of South Bohemia. The individual blocks are spread across an open area and can be reached by foot on marked paths through the woods.
The stones were erected during the Neolithic period when early settlers used their knowledge of construction and stone to create such structures. This time marks a turning point when people began to permanently shape their surroundings.
The stones occupy a place where people have long gathered to mark important moments in time. Today, visitors sense this same pull toward connecting with ancient ways at the site.
The site is best explored on foot, and the paths around it are marked so you won't lose your way. Informational signs on the ground help you understand what you are seeing, and there is plenty of space for walking and looking around.
Researchers have found that the alignment of the stones matches important positions of the sun and moon in the sky. This shows that the early people who created this structure watched and understood the movements of the heavens.
