Investigation: Mysterious Formations at Pekelská skála

The bulletin features a section titled "Pátrejte s námi" (Investigate with Us), highlighting mysterious formations at Pekelská skála near the village of Boč, about 2 km north of Stráž nad Ohří. Archaeologists from the Karlovy Vary museum have been examining strange piles of basalt stone, each about 2.5 meters high. Hundreds of these formations, including stone walls and arrangements of stones, are found on the forested plateau. A local legend speaks of a monastery that once stood on Pekelská skála and collapsed into the earth. The true purpose of these stone heaps remains unexplained by historians, and the bulletin poses a question about who will conduct an investigation in the spring.
