Nektere jsou vyrobeny umele, jine prirodne, nejcasteji pusobenim ledovce. Viklany vznikaji postupnym zvetravanim urcite vrstvy horniny, z niz zbudou pouze male zbytky v podobe vyvazenych balvanu, ktere se nepatrnou plochou dotykaji podlozi. Mivaji promenlivou velikost.

What is a Rocking stone

Rocking Stones are large stones that balance gently and we can move them even by applying a small force. We can find them all over the world. Some are made artificially, others naturally, most often by the action of glaciers. Viklany are formed by gradual weathering of a certain layer of rock, from which only small remnants will remain in the form of balanced boulders, which touch the subsoil with a small area. They tend to be variable in size. Some resemble the dimensions of a work, others a bus.

Název

Anglicke slovo logan ( Viklan – Logan ) je pravdepodobne odvozeno ze slova log, coz v anglickem nareci znamena skala. Ve skutecnosti v nekterych castech Velke Britanie jsou viklany tez nazyvany logging stones.

The Name

The word "logan" is probably derived from the word "log", which in an English dialect means to rock. In fact, in some parts of the UK, rocking stones or logan stones are called logging stones. The word "log" might be connected with the Danish word "logre", which means to "wag a tail". Some have suggested that the word "logan" comes from a Cornish expression for the movement that someone makes when inebriated.

Viklan Za Humny

Prirodni pamatka Za Humny predstavuje piskovcove skalni utvary ve smisenem lesnim porostu v jihovychodni casti Hostynskych vrchu (celek Hostynsko-vsetinska hornatina, okrsek Rusavska hornatina). Skaly jsou situovany na hrbetu a jiznim svahu vrcholu Skaly, asi 0,5 km severne od obce Drzkova. Jednotlive skalni utvary tvori stejne, strme uklonene lavice hrubozrnnych arkozovych piskovcu az drobnozrnnych polymiktnich slepencu lukovskych vrstev solanskeho souvrstvi (stari svrchni krida - svrchni paleocen) racanske jednotky magurskeho prikrovu Zapadnich Karpat v pruhu antiklinalniho pasma Kuzelek - Kremenicna. Jsou soucasti souvisleho hrbetu tahnouciho se zapadnim az vychodnim smerem a dosahujiciho celkove delky asi 1500 m.

The Rocking Stone Za Humny

The Za Humny natural monument is located to the northwest of the village of Drzkova in a part of Hostyn highlands. Za Humny is comprised of rock bankers that were made of sandstone and conglomerate in the Late Cretaceous to Late Paleocene periods. The rock formation is 1500m long and consist of rocks. The rock bankers were formed mainly by frost weathering and partially by chemical weathering. They have a rough surface because of the erosion of the harder quartz parts from softer surroundings.
