Kamenně Řady (Stone Rows)

Josef had told me about this place close by that had rows of rocks every 20m or so in the middle of the forest. I decided it would be a good day to go and see them. He gave me directions and I hopped on one of the bikes and off I went.

The day wasn’t overly warm, but I worked up a good sweat biking out there. The start of the trail was up a hill through a forest, and what a workout it was! I lugged my elderly bike up the hill and rode across a field of barley and into another forest.

There they were, neat rows of rocks quietly sitting in the middle of a pine forest. There were signs about telling the average Czech about their origins, but alas, nothing was in English for me.

Despite the lateness of the afternoon, there were a bunch of people and their families around looking at these rocks.
