This Ice Age boulder is a Scandinavian granite that was transported from the glacier of the Elster Ice Age to the extreme limit of glaciation around 250,000 years ago. It was found in a gravel pit 200 meters away and was moved to its current position in 2006.

This granite stone, weighing 8 tons, was probably pushed into this region during the Elster Ice Age. Exciting natural monument and testament to the power of the ice.
