Kamenné gule Megoňky

Description of the attraction

In 1988, during blasting of rock in a quarry, Megoňky were discovered in the local part of Čadka - Milošová. These are sandstone formations in the shape of a perfect sphere. Their size ranges from 10 to 260 centimeters. Similar natural treasures are not so easy to find anywhere else in the world. Megonky are also surrounded by rumors due to their uniqueness. According to some, they are dinosaur eggs, according to others, the remains of aliens. They are thought to have formed, like the surrounding rocks, about 40 million years ago. Their origin has not yet been fully scientifically explained. Megoňy were located in the past on a section with a length of up to 15 kilometers. However, out of curiosity, people took them home, where they displayed them as decoration. Some were breaking them, expecting to find gold in them. Therefore, only empty stone deposits remained after many. Megoňka's stone balls attract many tourists every year. The location is nicely arranged. You can relax here on wooden benches, there are information boards. This world unique is declared a natural monument.
