Erratic Boulder in Opava, Glacial boulder in Praskova, Czech Republic
The erratic boulder measures 1.80 meters in height, 2.10 meters in width, and 1.10 meters in length, standing in the Mesto district.
Discovered in the Palhanec sand quarry during 1958, this boulder traveled hundreds of kilometers through glacial movement during the last Ice Age.
Geologists examine the boulder's composition and surface patterns to understand the extent of prehistoric glacier paths across Central European territories.
Visitors can study the glacial striations on the boulder's surface, which reveal the direction and force of ancient ice movements.
The boulder's mineral composition differs from local rock types, indicating its origins from distant northern regions transported by massive ice sheets.
