Pallivahankivi, Natural monument in Turku, Finland.
The Pallivahankivi boulder rises 10 meters from the ground and stands in the Pallivaha district of Turku near Kärsämäki village.
In 1697, royal land surveyor Magnus Bergman recorded this glacial erratic on official maps, marking its importance for tax documentation purposes.
Finnish folklore tells that a giant from Nunnavuori threw this massive stone to its current location, reflecting traditional Nordic mythological narratives.
The boulder is accessible through multiple paths near Pallivaha School, with parking available along Palttankatu street for visitors.
Small caves formed under this glacial erratic were reportedly used as hiding spots by local criminals during past centuries.
