Hvissingestenen

The granite boulder measures 6 meters in length, 5 meters in width, and 4 meters in height, with an estimated weight of 270 tons.

Construction workers discovered the massive stone during the winter of 1966-1967 while installing a water supply pipeline for Ballerup Municipality.

The stone's name originates from the nearby village of Hvissinge, where residents were known as 'hvass entries', meaning people who lived on the moor.

Visitors can locate the stone at Oxbjergvej 16 in Glostrup, approximately 90 meters from its original position at the eastern end of Vestskoven.

The boulder stands as the largest granite block found on Zealand and holds fourth place among Denmark's most substantial stones.
