Hiking

The stone, which is outstanding in its size and placement, weighs 6.5 tons and has a shape that tapers upwards. It is reminiscent of the brown coal industry that characterized Borna, because these ice age stones in a typically rounded shape are usually unearthed when brown coal is mined from the Böhlen upper seam.
