The stones have already traveled a long way

Four boulders line the banks of the Weser between the Friends of Nature House and the theater.

They come from the Weser and have a mysterious origin. The Water and Shipping Office is constantly removing heavy stones weighing more than three tons from the river bed with their floating grab, but it doesn't take long for some to "grow" back. The hydraulic engineers are faced with a puzzle.

More boulders (natural monuments) are located a little further north on the Weser Cycle Path at the tip of the Weser Peninsula and just before Nienburg Harbour.

Many farmers also experience this as a problem on their fields. Every year they "harvest" stones from their fields, which seem to grow back like potatoes. With regard to this phenomenon, the State Office for Mining, Energy and Geology in Hanover refers to the occurrence of cryoturbation, a general term for all movements caused by the effects of frost in the ground.
