Spicher Hohlstein, Natural monument in Troisdorf, Germany
The Spicher Hohlstein is a quartzite stone measuring 9 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 4 meters high, located at Hohlsteinstrasse in Troisdorf.
French occupation forces conducted blasting experiments on the stone in 1810, giving it the current hollow shape and visible fragmentation patterns.
Multiple legends tell of giants using the stone as a hat and a white lady walking around it, whose hair turns into gold.
Visitors can find the Spicher Hohlstein at coordinates 50°49'29.82N, 7°8'10.5E, with an information board providing geological and historical details.
Scientists in 1979 theorized that the stone's formation could have served as a launch pad for astronauts due to its particular shape.
