Findling von Hüven, Glacial erratic in Hüven, Germany
Findling von Hüven is a large Scandinavian boulder located in this part of Lower Saxony. It measures about 5.8 meters long, 4.9 meters wide, and 2.9 meters tall, weighing approximately 102.5 tons.
This stone was transported from Scandinavia during the Saale glacial period hundreds of thousands of years ago. The rock material itself dates back approximately one billion years.
The rock received its official name in 2021 through a public naming process and is now a recognized natural monument in the Emsland region. Visitors encounter a large boulder that has become part of the local landscape and community identity.
The boulder sits in an easily accessible location with parking available nearby and informational panels explaining its geological story. Visitors can see it freely at any time and walk close to the stone.
This boulder was only uncovered in 2020 and ranks among the four largest glacial erratics in Lower Saxony. Its discovery shows how much can still lie hidden beneath the surface.
