Boulder in Hessigkofen: a 920 cubic meter "African"
Erratic blocks like the mighty 4x4x3 meter boulder in the forest near Hessigkofen have traveled far. It comes from the Valais and was brought here by glaciation in one of the 13 advances of the Ice Age. But geologically speaking, it is an Arola gneiss rock, formerly from Africa.
