Klobuky · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The petrified shepherd

Between Telce and Klobuky stands one of Bohemia's largest menhirs, three metres high and one metre wide. Legend says it moves one step towards the nearby church whenever its bells ring; when it arrives, the world will end. Others measure its annual progress as only a pinhead's width.
