Liptaň

Liptaň (German: Liebenthal) is a municipality and village in Bruntál District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic.

South of the village of Liptaň is situated the nature monument Liptaňský bludný balvan with one of the largest glacial erratics in the Czech Republic.

Reminding of the period 250–800 thousand years ago, the boulder was carried there by a continental glacier from the south of Sweden.

Radicalized German villagers attacked the gendarmerie station and disarmed and assassinated all six Czech members of the State Defense Guard.

The gendarme officers' bodies were transported over the border to the German town Leobschütz where they were buried in an unmarked mass grave.
