Georgenstein, Natural boulder in Grünwalder Forst, Germany
Georgenstein is a large natural boulder in Grünwalder Forst that rises from the Isar riverbed. The rock sits within a wooded area crisscrossed by hiking trails and is easily accessible to visitors.
The boulder formed during the last ice age and was carried to its current position by glaciers. Throughout the river's history, it became a recognizable landmark for people traveling down the Isar.
The boulder holds status as an officially registered geotope in Bavaria, reflecting the German commitment to preserving natural geological formations for future generations.
The rock is best reached on foot via hiking trails that wind through Grünwalder Forst. Wear sturdy shoes, as some paths are uneven and run alongside the river.
The stone is known among geologists for containing rare minerals brought by distant glaciers during the ice age. This composition reveals the power of ice-age processes that shaped the Bavarian landscape.
