The glacial erratics from Småland in Nienburg/Weser are impressive relics of a natural history dating back tens of thousands of years. These large, often smoothly polished boulders originally came from the southern Swedish region of Småland and were transported to northern Germany by mighty glaciers during the last Ice Age. As the ice sheet slowly moved south, it tore rocks from the Scandinavian bedrock and carried them over long distances. When the ice melted, these so-called erratics were left behind in the landscape – far from their place of origin.
