The Czech Meran is the area roughly around Sedlec-Prčice town in the southern part of central Bohemia. The name "Meran" dates to the 19th century when romanticized ideas compared this landscape to that around South Tyrolean Merano. There are rocky mountains up to 700m high clusters of dense forests, pastures and really rugged and often impenetrable terrain. It is said that some of these hills were ancient sacred places. Even settlement of this area dates to far prehistory. But the most important to me are the stones of Czech Meran. Stones are truly ubiquitous here. Large errant boulders, impressive logan stones and interesting rock outcrops. Some of the stones were erected in a far past and some quite recently. Some natural rock formation could have been used as a sanctum.
