Bickelstein, Glacial erratic monument in Ehra-Lessien, Germany
The Bickelstein boulder measures 2.5 meters in length and 1.2 meters in height, consisting of feldspar granite located in the Bickelsteiner Heide forest.
The stone received its first documented mention in 1578 within a border description, later appearing in the 1583 border contract between Lüneburg and Brandenburg.
Seven horseshoes and seven crosses, measuring 1 centimeter deep and 10 centimeters wide, are engraved on the surface of the stone.
Visitors can locate the boulder 200 meters east of Landesstraße 288 road between Ehra-Lessien and Boitzenhagen, at 94 meters above sea level.
The name Bickelstein derives from the Dutch word 'inbicken,' referring to the carving method used to create the markings on the stone.
