The stone of gray granite weighs 217 tons. With its width dimensions of about 7.9 meters and 5.2 meters and a height of 4.5 meters, the giant findling occupies a leading position in the ranking of the largest North German boulders. At the same time he is the oldest grandfinder in Germany.
In 1999, the Old Swede was found in dredging work to the deepening of the river Elbe in the riverbed at about 15 meters depth. He was baptized and officially naturalized on June 6, 2000. That same year, the boulder found its destination on a stretch of beach near Oevelgönne.

Foundling, originally from Sweden.

Cool big boulder. Too bad that there is always someone who spoils the fun with spray cans.
