    Tips

    The Blue Stone is located exactly on the border of Oudega and Nijega, east of the bridge in Nijega. The map of Smallingerland, dated 1664, is located east of Oudega, referred to as the "Blue Stone". This stone has been in the southern berm of Aldegeasterdyk since 1664, a stone like so many stones. Nothing distinguishes this stone from other similar stones or stones.

    Not the shape, not the size, but the many scratches and ink around the stone in all directions attract attention. The depth of these colorings is deeper than normal, evoking not glacial scraping, but also chisels and human dishes, as stated in 'Smellingera country', the history book published in 1944.

    That a cartographer also recorded the blue stone, along with specialties such as churches, monasteries and ducks, is a secret. The blue stone probably had an important place in the lives or thoughts of the Oudega people.
