    Hiking

    This boulder is marked as a geotope. It is located about 700 meters northeast of Rerik directly on the beach below the cliff. Very easy to get to on foot.

    It owes its name to its appearance, which - if you approach the stone from the southwest - is reminiscent of a lying elephant.

    The elephant stone is about 2.6 meters wide and 2.5 m high granite boulder from Småland (historical province in Sweden). Its total volume is estimated at around 12.4 m³. Typical of Småland granite are its blue quartz, which can also be found on the elephant stone.

    A very striking and worth seeing boulder on the section of beach just behind Rerik.

    Funny and yes, with a little imagination you can see it.
