This gigantic stone, which was found more than 100 years ago during the NOK expansion, weighs 25 tons. He couldn't be blown up, so he was promoted up here in honor of Bismarck.

That is a gigantic stone! It took them a long time to get him up there ...

The boulder came here in the penultimate Ice Age 200,000 years ago. It was found during the construction of the Kiel Canal, but all attempts to blast it failed. The traces can still be seen today. Sewer workers suggested setting up the boulder as a Bismarck stone on Klev, which was still tree-free at the time.

Unfortunately, the viewpoint on Klev is so overgrown today that you can no longer see the plain from here. Nevertheless, it is a nice resting place, especially since a nice path leads from here over the Klev.
