Großer Stein Tonnenheide, Natural monument in Rahden, Germany.
The Großer Stein Tonnenheide measures 10 meters in length, 7 meters in width, and 3 meters in height, weighing approximately 350 tons.
During the Saale glacial period, glaciers transported this massive granite boulder from Blekinge län, Sweden, approximately 615 kilometers to its current location.
The stone serves as a central meeting point for local traditions, including regular baking events where regional Platenkuchen is prepared in stone ovens.
The geological monument remains accessible year-round without entrance fees, with parking facilities and information panels available for visitors.
Scientists have identified removal marks on the boulder, indicating that at least 20 cubic meters of material were extracted from it over time.
