Luegibodenblock, Glacial erratic in Habkern, Switzerland
The Luegibodenblock stands 14 meters tall with a width of 28 meters and length of 31 meters, forming a massive granite block in the Bernese Oberland.
In 1868, Friedrich Bürki and geological experts acquired the Luegibodenblock and transferred it to the Natural History Museum of Bern for permanent preservation.
The Luegibodenblock represents the first natural monument protected in Canton Bern, marking the beginning of Switzerland's nature conservation movement.
Located one kilometer southeast of Habkern village at 1100 meters elevation, visitors can access the site through marked trails in the Lombachtal valley.
The rock formation features a distinctive composition of Habkern granite, revealing material from an ancient mountain range exposed through valley erosion.
