Čertův kámen is part of challenge: Pekelné vrcholy

East of the summit of Kamenná hora lies a peculiar rock formation consisting of two parts - a lower rock (a platform approximately 8.7 x 6.5 m) and an upper part that rests on the lower one with only a small surface; the formation has a total height of 4.2 m. The rock resembles an exotic sphinx or a sitting animal. Previously, an old German name referred to this rock as "Lämmersteine" - lamb or ram stone. The boulder formation at Kamenná hora, made of schistose mylonitized granite, is a remnant of intense frost weathering during the ice ages. There is a tourist shelter and a fire pit near the rock. A yellow hiking trail leads to the rock formation.
