Rokkestenen

The Rokkestenen boulder weighs approximately 35 tons and sits among the rugged terrain of Paradise Hills in eastern Bornholm island.

During the last ice age, glacial movements transported this massive stone across the Baltic region to its current location on Bornholm.

Local folklore suggests that the stone rests upon diamonds, explaining its ability to move when people apply pressure at specific points.

Visitors can reach the stone via a one-kilometer marked trail from the parking area at Lisegårdsvejen, near the town of Svaneke.

Rokkestenen is part of a collection of 175 erratic boulders on Bornholm, making it the largest and most recognized specimen.
