Großer Stein

The granite block measures 8.2 meters in length, 6 meters in width, and 5.2 meters in height, weighing approximately 450 tons.

The stone traveled approximately 300 kilometers from Blekinge, Sweden, during the Weichselian glaciation period around 25,000 years ago.

Local folklore tells of two giants competing to hit church towers with stones, resulting in this massive boulder landing near a paper mill.

In 2021, the stone was lifted from its partially buried position, allowing visitors to observe its complete dimensions and geological features.

The granite composition matches the Spinkamåla type from Sweden, dating back 1.4 to 1.5 billion years to the Danopolonian mountain formation period.
