Granddad, Glacial erratic stone at Minsk, Belarus

The granite stone formation, known as Granddad, measures 1.2 meters in height and 0.6 meters in width, displaying characteristics of glacial movement.

The stone dates back to the last ice age when glaciers transported large rocks across the region, depositing them throughout the current territory of Belarus.

The stone belongs to the Minsk pagan temple complex and maintains recognition as an element of Belarusian cultural heritage through official designation.

Visitors can reach the stone through Minsk's public transportation system, with several bus routes stopping near the site location at coordinates 53.931586, 27.689764.

The granite formation stands as a geological marker of ice age activity while simultaneously serving as a testament to ancient Belarusian spiritual practices.
