ENG: A natural group of massive boulders with a few shallow rock bowls.
In 1895 the Berlin naturalist Professor Wirchov researched pagan stones as part of the excursion of the Lusatian Anthropological Society. A remark on his visit is in the rock memorial tablet.
Although it is probably the only protected rock outlook in the Frydlandt region, unfortunately the surrounding growth obscures the scene. So the pagan stones are more likely interesting geomorphological objects or a walking goal near Visnova.
CZE: Jedna se o prirodni seskupeni mohutnych balvanu s nekolika melkymi skalnimi misami.
V roce 1895 zkoumal Pohanske kameny v ramci exkurze luzicke antropologicke spolecnosti berlinský prirodovedec prof. Wirchov, coz pripomina pametni deska vsazena do skaly.
