Schwanenstein, Glacial erratic on northern shore of Jasmund peninsula, Germany.
The Schwanenstein measures seven meters in length and five meters in width, standing 20 meters from the beach in the Baltic Sea at Lohme harbor.
During a severe storm in February 1956, three boys from a local orphanage perished near the boulder when the Baltic Sea ice broke unexpectedly.
The boulder appears on the coat of arms of Lohme municipality and features in local folklore about swans delivering babies during winter months.
Visitors can observe this 162-tonne granite boulder from the harbor walkway in Lohme, which provides clear views of the formation throughout the year.
A deep crevice runs through the western side of the boulder, enlarged by water freezing, indicating potential future separation of a large section.
