Přelíc · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The Menhirs of Přelíc

A lone stone near the village is said to be a petrified shepherd, punished for terrible swearing during a thunderstorm. An unknown old woman suddenly appeared beside him and struck him with a wand, turning him to stone. Two other large stones stand in the fields between Přelíc and Řisuty. The place has been called At the Two Stones since ancient times. They were supposedly erected in memory of a fight between two coachmen who beat each other to death over a shared mistress.
