Jvornik, Šumava (Bohemian Forest)

The sourrounding of the Javornik mountain is full of menhirs. They are not marekd on google maps, but are marked on mapy.cz or you can found detail rounds with map onsumavanet.cz We combined the walkt to the peak with sladges, drining water form the local sources and examing mehirs. The most know is called Moon Menhir (it has na sign of the moon in the "eye of menhir". It stands in the artifical postion most probably sicnce perhistory. The archeological reseacher of the place has never been done. All the menhirs I saw before were standing alone. Around Javornik it is different. All of them are surrounded by lots of oher stones with quite regular shapes - like it would be the old ruins of something, but so old that it is hard to judge.

On the peak Javornik itsleft there is an observation tower, but even if it is closed you ca still have a view on the sourrounding mountains in some directions.
