Hexenstein, Glacial erratic near Lindau, Germany
The Hexenstein consists of a gneiss block positioned 160 meters west of the Lindau railway dam in Lake Constance at coordinates 47°32'54"N, 9°40'42"E.
During the last ice age, glacial movements transported and deposited this massive rock formation as part of the Wasserburg-Lindau moraine near the island of Lindau.
Local folklore narrates that a witch escaping from Switzerland used the stone as a stepping point during her flight across Lake Constance.
The stone emerges from Lake Constance during low tide, rising approximately one meter above water level, marked with red warning signs for navigation safety.
Originally, two Hexenstein boulders existed: a smaller one near Römerschanze and a larger one by Sternschanze, though only one remains visible today.
