Święty Kamień, Glacial boulder near Tolkmicko, Poland.

The granite boulder measures 2.2 meters in height and spans 13.8 meters in circumference, standing prominently near the shore of Vistula Lagoon.

During the pre-Christian period, the Pogezan tribe used this stone as an altar for offerings, particularly fish, to honor Kurche, their god of fertility.

Local narratives include a tale of two brothers who fought over an axe, resulting in one throwing the massive stone to its current location.

The site connects to a 10-kilometer hiking trail along the Vistula Lagoon, requiring approximately three hours to complete at a regular walking pace.

The boulder arrived at its current position approximately 15,000 years ago when Scandinavian glaciers retreated across the northern European landscape.
