Siebenschneiderstein, Natural monument near Gellort cliffs, Putgarten, Germany.

The Siebenschneiderstein is a substantial granite boulder measuring 61 cubic meters in volume and weighing 165 tons near the Baltic Sea coast.

During the last ice age, glacial movements transported this massive erratic boulder from Scandinavia to its current location on Rügen Island.

The stone bears the name Söbenschniedersteen in Low German, referencing a regional tale about seven tailors finding space on its surface.

Located one kilometer northwest of Cape Arkona, the boulder remains accessible through coastal walking paths near the Gellort cliff edge.

This protected geotope stands as the fourth largest erratic boulder on Rügen Island, positioned 30 meters from the coastal cliffs.
