V roce 1882 přivezl Alexander Makowsky ze Svinova (dnes městská část Ostravy) do Brna 11 bludných balvanů, které byly umístěny v parku u Německé vysoké školy technické. Po roce 1945 se jejich stopa ztrácí. Historie bludných balvanů přivezených do Brna je na dalších více než 60 let zapomenuta. Je to však příběh s dobrým koncem, neboť všech 11 bludných balvanů se v Brně zachovalo. „Bloudění“ bludných balvanů, jak tato historie ukazuje, nemusí být omezeno pouze na dobu ledovou. http://www.osel.cz
