The evolutionary phase of the menhirs which are structured into giants' tombs following the evolutionary path of the Bretton-French tombs of the "alles couvert", an easily accessible site and a very interesting tomb.

The site is located on a plain surrounded by hills. There were some beautiful colors.

Small grave site. Still clearly recognizable as a grave complex. Right on the dirt road.

Strekov Castle

Střekov Castle (Schreckenstein) is perched atop a cliff above the River Elbe, near the city of Ústí nad Labem. It was built in 1316 for John of Luxembourg, the father of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, to guard an important trade route to Germany. After changing hands several times, the castle was acquired by the Lobkowicz family in 1563. Its strategic importance led to occupations by Imperial Habsburg, Saxon, and Swedish forces during the Thirty Years' War, as well as successive sieges by Austrian and Prussian armies during the Seven Years' War.

Although Střekov Castle was heavily damaged during those conflicts and abandoned as a military installation by the end of the 18th century, the 1800s saw many poets and artists visiting the castle, drawn by a new trend of interest in romantic ruins.
