Wackelstein von Loh, Rocking stone in Saldenburg, Germany
A massive granite boulder measuring 4 meters in length and 3 meters in width stands balanced upon a flat rock plate at 610 meters elevation.
The natural monument received official registration in the Bavarian Geotope Register under number 272R036 following documentation efforts by local geocachers in 2014.
Local geological enthusiasts regularly document and measure the dimensions of this formation, contributing to scientific understanding of spheroidal weathering processes in granite.
Located between the villages of Loh and Entschenreuth, visitors can reach the site through marked forest trails within the municipality of Saldenburg.
Despite its 50-ton weight, the boulder maintains such perfect balance that a single person can generate a slight rocking motion through applied force.
